Phone has not been used for months

[MPS]

Hello, I have a Nokia 108 simple camera phone, which I haven't used for quite a long time. I want to start using it again. I suspect the SIM card has been deactivated. How do I go about reactivating the SIM card? Or do I have to buy a new card?

Thanks very much.

Hi @MPS 

If it's been longer than 6 months without use, then you will need a new sim card. Your old number has probably been recycled by now. You can get a new sim by going in store with ID, or contacting O2 using any number in this guide Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support

Thanks for your help.

@MPS You can order a new sim online easily and free https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/sim-cards/pay-as-you-go

Thanks.

Only thing to remember is that o2 now only offer monthly bundles @MPS , which will run out and need renewing every month.

If you wanted a traditional pay as you go then you will need to look elsewhere - Tesco, Asda and Giff Gaff are the main ones that still offer this (at the moment).
