If your back up sim card hasn't been used for 6 months it could have expired, if you call CS I am sure they will send you one out and transfer your number to it.

If you are desperate for a sim, there is always Asda but you would need to top up the sim to activate it.

If you are PAYG and been disconnected for none use. Then the number has been withdrawn and you cannot get it back.

When was it last topped up and used.

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.
