Physical SIM

VVicini · ‎06-04-2025

Hello,

I would like to get a physical sim as a backup I can carry on on holiday or keep in a safe place in case my phone is stolen. How can I order it online?

THanks

@VVicini : You can't order a replacement SIM with your existing no. w/out deactivating your existing SIM. So I guess it'll have to be a PAYG SIM with a new no. just to use temporarily while you order a replacement SIM in event of your phone being stolen. PAYG SIMs can be ordered from FREE PAY AS YOU GO MOBILE SIM CARDS

@VVicini you need to read THIS and if abroad you can not active a sim on a roaming network it has to be used in the UK first.

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

You would activate it in UK 1st before you go. Anyway any replacement SIM applied for after the loss will only arrive in the UK.
