Keeping My EE Number Abroad: Need Advice for Long-Term Use

[maddy97]

Hello all,

I bought an EE SIM card in London, where I stayed for one year. Since then, I had to move to another country, where I've been living for over a year now, and I plan to stay here for the foreseeable future.

All my accounts are linked to this EE number, and I am on a 'Pay As You Go' plan. I regularly top up my account with credits and occasionally use it (texts, calls) to prevent it from going inactive.

I wanted to ask if I can continue this for several years, as I am unable to return to the UK due to work commitments and do not want to lose my number, since all my contacts and accounts are connected to it.

I would appreciate any help with this, and if possible, please provide sources to confirm it. Thank you.
