    They won't disconnect you if you don't make a call for two weeks!
    It's not based on the time it's switched off, it's the time you last used credit.
    If you are worried, just send a text or make a call the day you leave.

    I really don't think they will turn it off with only 2 weeks of non use, or thousands and thousands of people would be disconnected every summer when they go away.

    Normally it's at least 6 months of non use.
