Do you have expiration date?

I bought a sim card, but now I don't want to use it. Do your cards have an expiration date? I mean, is there an expiration date for activation?

Hello @mucahitakca 

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.

You misunderstood. I haven't plugged the SIM card in my phone yet, I haven't activated it. How long can it wait unplugged? I'm not going on vacation for a long time. I got the card early.

If the Sim Card hasn't been inserted in the phone they shouldn't expire.

For example, if I don't use for 10 years and then put it on after 10 years. Does it put signal? In short, can I keep it as long as I want?

There will be a "Start using before" date on its packaging.

[mucahitakca]

I checked but there is not "start using before"

Not on the card the SIM was attached to? Usually bottom R.

Maybe my friend put to trash card's cover and sent me.
I have only SIM, I do not have cover. Can I check expiration date with another ways?

No! It was on the card & it's up to the buyer to read all the terms.

I don't think it'll be more than a few months.

Maybe order a free PAYG SIM & see what that says.

How could you have checked if you never had the card?
