This SIM is no longer usable.  Once an account is deactivated 90 days after suspension, you gotta start all over from the beginning with a new SIM card.

How old and deactivated? When was the last time you used that number on that SIM? Read the above post carefully. It has everything you need to know.

Public mobile does not have service in Eastern Europe. The only roaming options are in United states. Outside of Canada/USA public mobile is non functional.

 

Sims are also deactivated / dead after a period of time either the account has been suspended / not used for 90 days (I've heard rumors you can re-activate the sim with special request within 365days but not sure about this). Either way that phone number is no longer yours, and its no longer associated with that old dead sim.

 

https://datago.co/ or http://www.onesimcard.com/international-sim-card/ or go to google and buy a prepaid europe plan + sim... get the correct sim card, for the correct service in Eastern Europe. Make sure your phone is unlocked and supports whatever frequency that provider will use in Europe.
