Do free SIM cards expire?
I tried searching on here but couldnt find anything.
My question is as the title says, do the free SIM cards sent out by companies like O2, Orange, T Mobile, Virgin, Vodafone expire?
I have lots of old SIM's I want to get rid of but not sure if they are all still valid or not without checking every single one of them. Any one know a way of checking?

Not quite, IF you do not plug the simcard inside a phone, at anytime then they will remain active.
Once you plug the simcard inside the number becomes active and after about 6 months of no calls, it's deactivtaed.0
