Best PAYG sim-only deal which includes a non-expiring data allowance

I use my mobile very little for mobile network calls and so am currently on 3's PAYG sim. However it charges 5p per MB for data use.
Occasionally, when I'm out, I receive what can be lengthy What's App video calls from family members which, of course, wipe out all my credit! I have thought about data add-ons but these seem to have limited life. Does anyone know of a network PAYG sim which has a data allowance that doesn't expire after a set time. Thanks.

3's Data Reward sim is 1p/MB. So is 1p Mobile.You can up the allowance for cheaper but will be time-limited or will be PAYM.2

The only downside is top up/bundles (or whatever the 3 name for them is) are expensive, so only suitable for low PAYG usage, and can't easily be boosted for a month.1

Plus you don’t get a voicemail service either I believe…I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂1

"Our 1pMobile service is subject to a minimum spend of £2.50 every 30 days. If your actual spend during any 30-day billing period falls below £2.50, we will deduct the shortfall from the credit balance on your account; your billing period runs on a 30-day cycle from the Commencement Date." etc...
Much less attractive for low usage.2 -
