New pack not working

I just topped up and ordered a new pack. Previously this worked and the pack started working quickly.

This time - nothing.

Pack shows as purchased but nothing happening on my phone.

Grateful for any ideas

What does texting AL to 150 from your no. fully report verbatim (it is free)?

Thanks @alihosie 

Are you in the UK? 

When was the last time the SIM card was used to make a call or send a text? 

Leanne.

yes - in the UK

Last use for text out appears to be 30 April 2022
mostly incoming texts from EE on updating rather than outcoming.
hasn't been used for calls for a couple of years. It's mostly used for data

Hi @alihosie 

Pay as you go SIM card's do go into hibernation, please see What is pay as you go and flex hibernation, and how do I stop it?

You would need to call us and get this looked into. 

Leanne.

It was used in February - It has been left for months at a time before - so why now?

A text has come through to say the pack is live but there is no EE internet.  Is it maybe just cause the signal is rubbish?

used for data that is
