Sounds like your PAYG SIM may have gone into hibernation due to non-use.
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.

EE don't have a CS email contact, so who have you "sent some emails" to?!...
If your phone has been hibernated, you'll need to contact them from another working phone (+44 7953 966150) or a web-calling app such as Skype (+44 800 9566000)

Hello @jer_casey.
The EE Online Store team won't be able to help with this.
Do you have access to Skype?
I'd recommend calling us via a web-calling app so our customer care team can help get your number activated.
