I have a PAYG sim.

But you HAVE to make atleast one call within a 3month period or so.

Are there any PAYG sims where you dont have to make any minimum number of calls. So you can topup £20 and you could leave it for over a year and it woudl still work after that and have £20 credit left.

PS. Can i confirm the restriction on Three PAYG sims?

    I hardly use my Tesco payg, i'm sure i don't have to make calls during a period without losing the credit.

    Don't be sure.
    5.4 If you do not use your Mobile Phone for six months we will disconnect you and you will lose your Credits and Mobile Phone number.

    If they haven't done this yet, this doesn't mean that they will never do. My Tesco sim lasted for ~2 years with zero balance.

    @OP: a recent thread: are there any networks which do not have a 30 day expiry on pay as you go?

    3 is 6 months

    "If within a 6 month period you have not (i) activated a Pay As You Go Voucher on your account or (ii) made any chargeable events or activities (for example, made telephone calls, sent text or photo messages, accessed content or the internet or any other Three Services for which a charge is made), we may also suspend our Services or disconnect you."

    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
