Cancelling unused sim card

I ordered a Lebara sim card then decided not to use it and go with Vodaphone. I can't find the same deal on here now (it was 90p for 6 months then £4.90) to double check if it was a monthly contract, and I had no email from them with any details.
If I don't put this sim in the phone will that be enough for it to be cancelled? 
Wondering if I need to put it in and register so I can then cancel it on their website.

    Log in and turn off "auto renew" then it won't take another payment

    The safest way is to put it in a phone then request a pac or stac and give it to a payg provider. However I have a number of unused lyca and lebara sims which have never renewed but might if I put them in a phone and connected.
