@Gabriel-: 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. Chargeable use is: Making a chargeable call or text outside any pack or add-on.

There are currently two MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) using EE’s network. These are BT Mobile and Plusnet Mobile .

EE will now let you use the same phone number on DIFFERENT devices – here’s how. MOBILE network EE has announced a new “smart number” scheme that lets you use the same phone number across multiple devices.

What is SIM only? A SIM only plan is exactly what it says on the tin: a plan that’s just for your SIM card . Rather than getting a new phone included in your plan, you get a new SIM with all your data, minutes and texts on it. Just pop this into your phone and you’re good to go!

The telecoms giant announced it will axe its ‘classic’ PAYG and international sim cards for new customers , although existing ones will still be able to top-up. The move comes after Virgin Media announced it would be stopping PAYG.
