Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2008SIM failure.
Are mobile phone SIMs prone to failing if unused for some time (say 2 years)? Can dead SIMs be revived in anyway?  SignatureMichael Chare > Are mobile phone SIMs prone to failing if unused for some time (say 2 > years)? I wouldn't think they'd fail, unless left somewhere they'd receive doses of static electricity, but they could well be de-registered from the network if not used for so long. : > Are mobile phone SIMs prone to failing if unused for : > some time (say 2 years)? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] : could well be de-registered from the network if not used : for so long. That's the most likely explanation. Call the network and ask them if they'll reconnect it. Although you've probably lost both the number and any credit. Probably better off getting a new SIM. Ivor > Are mobile phone SIMs prone to failing if unused for some time (say 2 > years)? Can dead SIMs be revived in anyway? As has already been said, but in plain English, the sim has been switched off due to lack of use and the number will probably have been reallocated to someone else. Sim cards are 10 a penny nowadays. >> Are mobile phone SIMs prone to failing if unused for some time (say 2 >> years)? Can dead SIMs be revived in anyway?

I tried cleaning the contacts but it made no difference. There was a small credit balance which I have had transferred to another number.

You've been cut off by your network (for inactivity most likely). The SIM itself is functioning fine. SignatureRegards Jon |
