Moving abroad outside the EU- would like to keep my sim

Hi, I'm moving to new Zealand for 1.5 years and would like to keep my UK Smarty sim for 2FA and also just to have my UK number when I move back. Is there a way to keep my sim and number and potential...

GeorgeP_1626885 Good tips from MSF and StevenP. I had a thought in regards to roaming with that SIM -  I would be careful about the terms and conditions which mention permanent roaming restrictions - if they deem you to have spent 60 or more consecutive days abroad, Smarty may suspend all services on your account. This is the same in the EU and outside it. This is their fair usage policy for roaming, so likely they will monitor your traffic/location whilst you have an active plan, and if you are using those minutes/texts from somewhere other than the UK etc

Ofc if you're not planning to use the SIM actively, then you'll probably be alright.

    My thoughts too jassingh 

    I THINK, but of course don’t know, if the Smarty SIM Is not regularly used for data, then it should be fine 🤞🏻

    I guess the OP will be using an NZ SIM for day to day use

      Yeah I guess if its being actively used then it might trigger something in their system. Incase the SIM is only 'online' here and there then I guess its not warranting anything suspicious on their end 👀
