Emergency Mobile

Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a phone for my Grandparents which they can keep in their car for emergencies.

Are there any particular PAYG sims that don't require periodic top-up? i.e. one which can be topped up once, and then left until the credit is used without any time constraints.

Thanks,
Adam

    O2 just require a chargeable call every six months I think.

    Bear in mind with emergency mobiles that batteries can deplete even with the phone switched off - make sure they check it every few weeks. :)
