Yes, he just needs to get online a PAYG SIM.

All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient.

For just occasional use, text STOP PACK to 150 before you 1st top-up & you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) 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 any Pack or Add-on you might have.

Good morning @Headcase2

I am sorry to hear your in hospital. 

If your husband requires a PAYG SIM he could order online, however, if possible it would be quicker to get this from the EE Store. 

Katie.
