New Disconnected O2 PAYG Sim

[Deleted User]

Hello,

I've got a boxed O2 PAYG sim card pack (not the online kind) that I've had for about 2 years, never used, never opened.

I've just opened it and put the sim in my spare phone, but it seems like it has been disconnected. I phoned it's number that is printed on the back of the pack and it says this number is not in use.

I'm wondering if I phone up O2 PAYG customer services will they will re-connected this sim for free?

Or is it only fit for the bin now?

Have you tried actually registering the sim with 02

Nope, it gets no signal so it must be disconnected.

it will be disconnected - networks clear unused issued numbers

same here, i have t-mobile one, with £10 credit on.
have contacted tmobile but they are not interested and wont help, just saying take it back to where u bought it from.

The O2 ones last a year or more, as I asked about some old ones here a while back. Maybe they would reconnect it if you asked, or might send another one free. They replaced one that I sent to a friend abroad, who then had it stolen in another country (he wanted to keep the number).
