Reactivating Phone Plan to Visit an EU country (non-UK) from the U.S.

Hello everyone,

I'm a student in the States and I'm visiting Germany for a week next week. Over the summer, I stayed in the UK  and I had an EE pay-as-you-go plan for two months which has expired now. I want to reactivate this plan and add some credit & use the free roaming service once I am in Germany, but I'm not sure if this is possible. I still have the SIM card. If I add credit to my account and insert the SIM card that I had used, will I be able to use the roaming service? Will I be able to use the number that I had used over the summer? Or would you recommend I use a different roaming service (Germany-based)?

Thank you so much.
