Kiosk SIM card to eSIM

Scythianunborne · ‎08-03-2024

Hi,

A few years back, I bought an EE sim card at a kiosk at Heathrow. I've got the package it came in, except the sim card itself. Would I be able to use the information on the package to convert it into an eSim once I'm back in London, or even before that?

EE PAYG SIMs are disabled after 6 months of non-chargeable use. You then have 3months grace before the number is irretrievably disconnected. Yours would have been disconnected around late May 2023.

No, no eSims avaible for PAYG.

If it's a few years old the Sim Number has probably expired by now if its not been used.

That would be a PAYG SIM, but EE don't do eSIMs on PAYG, only contract. Anyway even if you still had the SIM after a "few years" of idleness it would've been disabled.
