if it has been more than 6 months then the sim will have been deactivated & most likely the number assigned to someone else

How long has it not been used for?

You can call O2 and get the sim reconnected.

Thanks  for  your reply Stuart 1983, I think it is longer than 6 months since I used it. I will have to buy a new one.

You can get them reactivated if it saves you going to the shop.

No Prob's Liquid, With 15 years service in with the largest security organisation in the country I am used to much worse than that, wink OK how do I get the sim card re-activated?

I presume it will mean a long wait on the phone to O2, Smiley Mad And can it be done after 6 months and will the original No have been allocated to someone else?

You can call CS hopefully wouldn't be too long of a wait:(

Rather than going out of your way you could just fill in the form above and they'll send you one:)

If your busy it will be the easiest way if you order now it could be with you tomorrow.

 

its unlikely the sims serial will have been given to someone else you'd end up with a new number Though.

I had my son's sim reconnected after almost 9 months (he live's in Berlin) but had to wait for the following day before the unused credit was reinstated. He also kept the same number. I have to do this every year as he never remembers to make a call every 6 months!
