Hello,
I purchased a SIM card at the airport on February 1st, and I was informed that it is valid until March 3rd. I would like to extend its validity for an additional month, but I am looking for a more cost-effective solution. So, here is my questions:
How can I go about doing this?
After the 3rd of March, will EE charge the SIM card from my bank account?
Also, Can I switch to one of your SIM-only plans on my current SIM card?
Thanks

@MrRiahi : Have you used this SIM at all? The date on it is only a "Start Using" date. If you don't use it before that date it might not work. Once you use it regularly it will not expire.
Giving you only a month to use it seems rather short. It's usually 6 months. Maybe it'd been on stock for a long time. What outlet did you buy it at & how much did you pay for it? Is it called a SIM Local?
Are you in UK & are you a UK resident?

@XRaySpeX
I used it since February 1st.
I do not remember. The only thing I can tell you is I were at Heathrow and from the first outlet I saw.
I paid £30 for the pack with my card. Is there any E-voucher for EE to buy and charge the SIM card with the 16 digits on it? Also, it doesn't called local SIM card I guess.
I am UK resident right now.

"right now"? For how long? If you have no UK credit history you won't be able to take out a SIM-Only contract.
