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.

Hi @ecturner.
That's right to activate a pay as you go SIM you must make a chargeable text or call.
Are you aware if your account already has credit from when you purchased the SIM?

@ecturner : Buy a pack of mins, text & data. Text ALL PACKS to 150 on arrival in UK & choose.
How long you've had this PAYG SIM? They go into hibernation after 6 months of non-use.
