Here's a bunch of free PAYG SIMs - checking the individual terms for exactly how/when top-up is required and rates charged is needed.

To be honest I think the ONLY provider which has absolutely no topup requirement (After the initial one) is rwg. There is however a requirement to make a call or send a text every 3 months (so in practice you would have to topup £5 every 25 years to be safe.) That said if you don't use your phone for over three months and your service is restricted you can call them and I have heard positive experience about restrictions being lifted without fuss.0

The old 02 classic sim dont require a top up either,not topped up for 2 years,still works fine, and the three data reward sim is the same also.
Plus with the three and rwg sims there is still free roaming,no daily £2 charge. And rwg let you use all your data as well,no cut off point when you are charged extra0 -

That page reads like 'give us an excuse to end your service' to me
Asda however are decidedly woolly;
"As long as you use some mobile data or make a chargeable call or text once every 180 days, your credit won’t expire. Find out more about top-up expiry and keeping your SIM active"
Then when you click the link;"Does my top-up expire?
For your account credit to remain active you must top-up or purchase a bundle within 180 days of either activating your account (i.e. when you first made a call, sent a text or used data) or the last top-up or bundle purchase you made. Every time you top-up or purchase a bundle within 180 days, this time frame will reset.
After 180 days without topping-up or purchasing a bundle your account will become restricted and you won't be able to make calls, send texts or use data, however you will still be able to receive inbound calls and texts.
We will send you a text message when you reach 180 days of inactivity. To reactivate your account, you will need to call us on 0808 006 2732 from any phone (free of charge) and top-up or purchase a bundle.
If after a further 90 days, you haven’t contacted us to top-up or purchase a bundle your account will be expired. Once your account is expired you will no longer be able to retrieve the mobile number or any credit remaining on the account."

"Pay As You Go SIMs can expire. To keep your number active, you must use it for at least one chargeable activity every 180 days. A ‘chargeable activity’ is something like making a call, sending a text, using your data, or using an existing top-up credit or Data Pack allowance. "
No mention of what the procedure is if you don't make a chargeable activity though, or whether you can get them to restore the service.0 -

It all depends on their attitude to your custom. They won't allow people to join the tariff and have the option to disconnect you, but at the moment they aren't doing so. However in 6 months' time they may feel different.0
