UK SIM cards
 
Hello I am going back to K in a few weeks (first time since immigration over 2 years ago!!) Taking my daughter for a spot of retail therapy and to see family and friends :thumbsup:
My question is I have a UK Orange and vodaphone SIM which both held credit but they have not been used for over 2 years. Will the numbers still work if I top up the pay as you go? Anyone know? ta x:)

I could be wrong but I don't think so. From memory I think you had to use them at least once within a 12 month period if they were pay as you go. I suppose it's always worth taking them and trying?

Thanks for asking - we are also going back to the UK for the same reasons and have an Orange SIM which has not been used for a couple of years. Oh well a visit to the mobile shop me thinks ;-)

Hi,

we've actually had sun in the uk, this weekend, that may be summer????, have you tried putting the sim cards in an unlocked phone and using the phone, only an idea.
