Have you tried calling them to ask?

If it is as suggested, they will tell you that a new sim needs to be
purchased - and you get a new number. I had the exact same thing when
I bought a "3" phone and left it in the drawer for about 8 months
after putting the sim in and effectively registering the number. I
just ended up selling the phone on ebay - and got more for it than I
paid originally! Their loss. I wont be using their crappy service
again! (which was why it was put in the drawer - the reception was
virtually non existant and kept switching to 02 - meaning most of the
time it wasnt connected and batteries quickly exhausted.)
