PAY AS YOU GO FOR OCCASIONAL USE

My mum is in a care home and I have an old phone with big buttons I would like to give her.  Is there such a thing as a sim card where I can put say £10 on but which does not need topping up monthly.  That way I can call her regularly using my mobile minutes?

Thanks

Rwg. Runs on ee. They do a £0 a month bundle, 50 mins and texts and 250mb of data. Renews every 25th of the month. You just need 2 make a call or text or use data once every 6 months to keep sim active. Iv been using it for 2 months now. No problems at all

Would second that recommendation (I have not yet used them myself, but the offer is perfect).

When i first joined,and you ring 669,their  number,it was in welsh,it threw me as i didnt know they were. But then,you get it in english,then press a number,to save the english option.

Another vote for RWG , still got to set mine up.

I put our main twoon O2 classic(£10 each) before I saw the RWG.

We have 2x  O2, 3 x 3 data reward(£0) and will set up RWG(£0) on one of the phones.
that should keep us going for quite a while.

I got my mum (who only uses a phone to ring me when she’s ready to be picked up from her hospital appointments) an Asda mobile PAYG sim card https://mobile.asda.com/pay-as-you-go

My other half has had an Asda P A Y for quite a few years.

Not used very often but can’t fault it.
