Three 3-2-1 credit doesn't expire.

True, but you need a 3G phone to use it.

Thanks all for useful info regarding PAYG credit not necessarily expiring. More advice please? I am confused over 3G/4G. My phone, like me, is an elderly Samsung Galaxy SII. Works well and connects to the internet via wi-fi. Does 3G/4G refer to those who want mobile internet connection which I don't need. Just need a SIM that will enable me to make phone calls and text messages but not any kind of bundle. Hope that makes sense!

You don't need 4G.

I think every pay-as-you-go tariff provides access to the 3G network if it's available in the area, and you are using a 3G capable handset (if not then you'll just use the 2G network).

As stated above, if someone wants to use the Three pay-as-you-go tariff, they need to have a 3G capable mobile, as Three doesn't have a 2G network (in a few limited areas, Three has access to EE's 2G network, but this isn't something to rely on).

Talk Mobile is the only other MNVO running on Vodafone, so that is your only option if it has to be Voda.

Not quite - there's also Lebara Mobile. (And also TalkTalk mobile - but you also need to be a TalkTalk landline customer to be able to get their mobile plans.)

System

There is also Kontactmobile - which seems to do bundles for £5.
I found a sim offer via their Facebook page.

TalkTalk mobile is (or possibly) has already moved to O2.

Mee

I moved to Sainsbury's mobile in the last few months after my Lebara SIM card was cancelled due to my failure to top up/make a call/text in the specified time.

I am grateful for the double points on all my S shopping until 07/2016, and the £5.00 credit to my linked Nectar card, but it is really most inconvenient....
