Hello! 

 

I bought a SIM around a year and a half back but I haven't used it since. 

Now when I tried to reuse it, the sim not provisioned message keeps popping up. 

 

Can I not use the same number and would I need to get a new sim number?

If you haven't used it for over 9 months it has been deactivated & you have lost it & its no. for good.

 

EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-use. You then have a further 3 months to call EE to reactivate it before it is lost completely.

 

You needed to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from your pack.

I should also mention that I'm not in the country. 

I'm in Tbilisi, Georgia. 

 

I don't know if this is the reason.
