When did you last use it for a chargeable action? EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-use. You then have a further 3 months 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.

The posts to which you've replied, give the advice on how to resolve this. You will need to call EE C/S to do so, there is no other way.

If you can call from a web-calling app such as Skype, the call should be free.

Hi Kate, as I wrote in a couples of messages, I can't call any number as my UK number doesn't work and I am still in Italy.
Please can you help?
Thanks so much

Have you tried through a VoIP service, such as Skype, @Alessandra303? A lot of people use those services to contact us when they have a problem with their phone abroad.
