Abroad for a long time, can I use EE

If I am working abroad for a long time, can I use EE?
I’ve heard that if you don’t return to the UK for two months, your number will be deactivated.

I've heard them talk about FUP, but not quite sure if that's correct.
It says that if you use it abroad for more than 60 days, you need to come back to the UK and activate the sim once to continue using it.
But I'm abroad for a long time and can't get back home, I'll keep topping up to kept sim alive and I don't know if this has any effect so that I can keep and use my number.

I want to know it is true? Or how can I use EE abroad?

@campb : You need to show you have a Stable Link to UK which means that you cannot use it abroad for more than 2 months in any 4 month period.

Beyond that EE might get in touch & demand an explanation for your usage abroad and/or might apply a surcharge to your usage abroad.
