@Behro No you’ve relinquished the number by not getting it reactivated within the time period given.

Is there no way that I can get it reactivated? It was actually connected to my paypal so I won't be able to get messages when I want to log-in.

No way! You've left it unused for too long.
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.

Oh no! But how will I access my bank then. As it has been only a few days after the grace period is there like NO WAY to make an exception?

This public user discussion forum can't make exceptions but you can try persuading CS as it's only a few days only.
Surely there must be a way with your bank & PayPal to change your registered mobile no.
