When I tried to use the Suica on my iphone for first time when we arrived last May, it did not work at the ticket barrier and the guard took it off me, put it on a reader and did something - gave me back and it worked. No idea what the problem was.

Saw a YT video that I think given me the answer - if you do not use it for 6 months it gets locked - and the way to unlock it is to either have the staff inspect / activate it as happened to me - OR add money to the card, any amount.
