Does anyone know whether the 3(Three) 1/2/3 is still available ? I believe, it works similar to O2 with the same price.

The Three Data Reward sim (the 3,2,1 sim) is no longer available from Three. There are sellers on eBay but the sims can no longer be registered for the free 200MB/mth. Claims by the sellers that they have been "pre-registered" and will provide 3,2,1 rates and free data may well be true but I ain't paying a tenner to find out.

Someone is selling O2 Classic 321 PAYG simcards - 2 for £1 here:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154679281111

How long O2 will keep this plan active, I have no idea. But recent feedback for the seller would suggest they have been selling O2 Classic simcards within the last month without issue.

I have similar O2 Classic 321, But is it 4G and there is already sign of tear and wear

If I buy this new sim, could I port my number "directly" to this new simcard ??

An O2 Classic sim I was using in 2017 was using 4G so yours probably is, if your phone says 4G in the info line then it is 4G.

There is definitely a mechanism to swap an O2 sim for another (subject to the usual ID verification processes) but since the tariff is 'obsolete' and the new sim is not O2-supplied there may be 'issues'. 

A triangular sim swap could be used but seems overkill if your current sim is still working.

It's not been mentioned yet but Tesco mobile credit doesn't expire if the phone is used in a 6 month period. My £10 credit has been active for around 5 years, all I need to do is send at least one text each 6 months.

spoke to someone at tescos who said that they only do one month contracts , maybe yours was an old deal .

It's still available https://www.tescomobile.com/no-contract-sim

If you don’t want to be on our No-contract SIM tariff, you can move to our Triple Credit tariff in My Account, in our app or by calling 282 free from your Tesco Mobile phone.

There used to be a payg Tescos sim, it takes a lot of digging to find it.

Re 321with 3 it's unlikely to be viable now when they want rid of payg customers. 
Currently 10 - 15 - 35p. Calls at 35p and texts 15p. 

That has gone up again with the top up. Not informed by text this time.

PS just looked up the Tescos Lite and it's not Lite any more!

Does anyone know a Payg sim which credit does not expire after 30 days and that you may top-up less than five pound?

and a sim with no credit in it for receiving text messages

Not aware of any PAYG service that has initial/ongoing top-up of less than £5.

You could get the Lebara 1p/month PAYM deal and after 6 months swap it to PAYG.

The Asda sim will (did) receive calls/text with zero credit after activation.

Same with Tesco SIM

Asda and Tesco PAYG sim will receive calls/text with zero credit after activation. 

then how do you avoid the sim number being disconnected from their network after 180 days  for not making a chargeable call
