My account. / plan is gone ?! Without any notice

[BLT3]

I am currently abroad and believe I have been paying regularly for my account YET now that I try and log in into my account to check it is gone and my sim is not working. What can I do? As I am abroad it is obviously inconvenient to call their number, is there email / suggestions? I am very worried about losing my UK number as almost all my important accounts are connected to it.

Are you reporting an issue with your phone not showing coverage abroad? Are you on PAYG or pay-monthly?

Pay-monthly accounts are only disconnected either for non-payment or if you explicitly request cancellation.

Thanks for your response! It is a pay-monthly plan, I do not have coverage but also when I log in on EE it shows no information of any plan, there is an illustration saying GOOD NIGHT.

Regardless of any billing add-on, your ability to get coverage abroad (which calls, texts & mobile data rely on) is dependent on roaming being activated - which allows your phone to connect to foreign networks.

On PAYG, this is auto-enabled once your phone is used in the UK first.
On pay-monthly, this needs to be enabled manually - usually by texting ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK. Did you do this?

If you are on pay-monthly and now find yourself abroad without having enabled roaming, your only recourse will be to contact CS to request it activated. You can either contact +44 7953 966150 from another working phone, or +44 800 0798586 using a web-calling app such as Skype over WiFi.
