Bahrain Sim Card

I bought one viva sim around 7-8 months ago, and used it for 6-7 days during my visit in oct-2014 and after that when I went recently to Bahrain the same sim was not working. Now I have a query, can I reactivate this sim as I will b visiting Bahrain soon, if yes, then how ?? Or this sim is permanently deactivated,

Ps - my friend got me this sim on his CPR !!

usually dead after 6 months, sometimes less. When you get here, you can take it to any mobile phone shop and they can check to see if it's still active. Unlikely to be though.

unlikely to work as suburbansam pointed out, better to get a new one!
