Hi, I just noticed I had received a text from EE on May 14th. The image is attached. I called EE, and the customer service representative I spoke to could not find anything. I told her to please attach a note to my account and not to disable it. I am certain I have used my account in the past 6 months. After the call, I made another top-up and subscribed to a pack. Please, I need some advice. Do I need to do something more? I don't want to lose my number.

Topping up & buying a pack now will be too late if it's already gone into hibernation.

When did you previously make a chargeable action? EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-chargeable use. You then have a further 3 months period of grace 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.

When did you make your last chargeable call, send your last chargeable text or topup?

I sent an international text on the 1st of April. Also, I make regular, chargeable calls. So, this is very confusing. I am beginning to think I received this in error. I would like some sort of confirmation on this matter. I am able to make calls, and text currently. What do you suggest? I have already spoken on 150. Would like further assurance.

I regularly use the phone to keep it active. How can I confirm if it is in hibernation? I am very confused at the moment, as customer service could not find anything.

There are reports of this msg being sent out in error, sometimes in conjunction with an "Closure of 3G network" warning. Is the SIM still working for everything?

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, the SIM is working fine. It would have been nice if EE could have sent a follow-up message explaining the error. I am in limbo at the moment, as I have no assurance.
