No contract sims ?
Is there a sim that I can use on my backup phone that I hardly ever use that the credit doesn't expire ? I was surprised that last time I went to use it I found the provider had " stolen" all my credit , I'm not tech savvy so assumed my credit was mine, which used to be the case.

Has ASDA (and others) stopped auto top-up on PAYG?
I was just updating my card details online at the ASDA portal and I can't find anywhere that talks about auto top-up, where you top up (in my case) £5 when balance drops below £1.
