Hi @TeeRathbone20,
Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂
A series of automated texts are sent to your phone number before an account enters hibernation.
If your account has been out of use for less than 273 days, you can reactivate it by calling Customer Care.
Find out more in What is pay as you go and flex hibernation, and how do I stop it?
Hope this helps.

Ive already got a new sim card in my phone im turning the notification for the emails and the webpage off.
im not using a service who thinks that deactivating a sim while its still in use without contacting the owner.
0 contact at all and the company makes the decision to terminate a perfectly fine sim card.
i was interested by the 'lower' price than most the competitors but the other services that come along with that are rediculous.
if i ever refer anyone to EE it will most definitely be mistake. this company is a joke and im happy to wipe my hands clean of all of this and never trust EE as a service again
