I'm in the same boat, just moved to France but want to keep my uk number for my business. I was told the same thing about having to return to the UK to keep the sim active. Only thing I've found are 'expat' phone providers that let you keep your uk number.
Haven't sorted it myself but seems like the only way?

Could she post it back every couple of months and you connect it to the UK network for a day and then send it back?
A bit of a faff but potentially worth it if it would work.

Daughter is heading for a year studying / working in Europe. We'll get her a payg local sim when she gets to Germany, but would obv like to also keep her UK number live & working, if only connecting that one on WiFi.
All the providers seem to have a limit for time spent abroad of 62ish days for 'fair use' and then looks like they can cancel them.
Anyone know a way around this?
