Hi @DanielSilva 

Thanks for coming here. 

How long ago was the SIM card last used for a chargeable call or text? 

If the account is in hibernation you would need to call us from any other phone, please see our What is pay as you go and flex hibernation, and how do I stop it? - The EE Community for more details 🙂

Sounds like your PAYG SIM has already gone into hibernation. Topping up now is too late.

When did you previously use it for a chargeable action? EE PAYG SIMs are deactivated after 6 months of non-chargeable 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.
