Does Orange PAYG sim credit expire?

Hi,

I have finally managed to port my number from Orange to Vodafone, however, I would still like to take advantage, occasionally, from Orange Wednesday.

I already have an unregistered Orange PAYG sim, does anyone know whether there is a time limit to using up the credit? I don't want to top it up by a fiver, only to lose it 3 months down the line because I haven't gone to the cinema! (I won't be using it for anything else)

Thank you

    Credit stays on the acc as long as you make one chargeable call/text every 6 months. If you're going to be using OW you should have no problems.
    You can always stick an item in the on the calendar to remind you to send a text to yourself every 5 months and 3 weeks. . .

    Excellent idea, Thanks!

    On a related point, is it possible to get a refund of Orange PAYG credit?

    Thought not!

    You can transfer the credit to another payg acc. Don't know about refunds, not an area I work in, sorry.
