As you switched to PAYG while abroad you can't now use it until you return to UK. EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network.
Your old a/c is closed as it's a contract a/c & you no longer have a contract. You will need to create a new a/c for your no. as PAYG. You need to call CS to delete your old contract MyEE a/c & then you can set up your new PAYG MyEE a/c afresh, using the same mobile no. & email addy if desired. You can't mix them under MyEE.
