@Solution2 : EE don't sell SIMs in RoI. EE SIMs must 1st be used in UK before being used abroad.

YOU SAID:EE don't SIMs in RoI. EE SIMs must 1st be used in UK before being used abroad.
Yes. I used my EE SIM  in UK, Ireland, Iceland and Norway already. Now I want to use it in Italy. Will it work?

Did you use that PAYG SIM for making calls or texts in UK before you left to go abroad? EE PAYG SIMs need 1st activating on EE's home UK network. If it wasn't you can't now use it until you return to UK.

If you've already used it successfully in the UK, Ireland, Iceland and Norway without any issues then you'll be fine in Italy too 👍
