Re activate sim

[Bobby1690]

My sim has gone into hibernation, I'm currently in Thailand and I've not used my ee sim in 3 months. It has been deactivated today, I called EE yesterday and they told me to call again today to re activate but I cannot use the sim to call.. is there any way EE can call me back or contact me to re activate.

My sim card has gone Into hibernation, I called ee yesterday and they told me to call again today to reactivate my sim card. However I cannot do this as my sim went out of service today, 

Is there any way EE can contact me to re activate my sim card.

No, you need to call them.

Your PAYG SIM has gone into hibernation due to non-use. If it has, topping-up now would be too late.

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.

Hi @Bobby1690 

Just to add to the great advice from @XRaySpeX, (you can find out more about hibernation at Pay as you Go hibernation), as your SIM is currently deactivated you'll need to call using a different phone from abroad. You can find the contact number at Contact us from abroad | Help | EE.
