Hi

Anyone know which mobile op has the longest time before cut off for no use or one that actually warns you by text before they disconnect a sim? Do any of the networks have no min use?

Reason being my daughter has a phone for emergencies and if there's a long time between calls she might be cut off just when she needs it.

Thanks

    Avoid 3 mobile, as they told me the period on non use was 12 months, but then one of my numbers was de-activated after a shorter period. I asked 3 mobile about this, and they said they had changed the period of non use to 6 months. I complained that they should not just change that period nor lose a customer's mobile number without warning, but to no avail.

    FWIW Tesco say that their 'paid for' credit never expires, perhaps that also means that their SIMs never expire?
