Morning @shemaine_h 

 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

 

Did you use the SIM card to make a call or send a text on the EE network in the UK before travelling to Australia? 

 

Speak soon.

Sounds like your PAYG SIM has gone into hibernation.

 

When did you last use it for a chargeable action? 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.

If you think I helped please feel free to hit the "Thumbs Up" button below.
