RWG still have an option to top up, without purchasing a monthly bundle. You just been to send a text or make a chargeable call every 180 days.

O2 classic 321 has eSIM. But you need to go to the shop to swap it.

They do give me £5 credit when I rang CS to register online account. It was in Apr or May when I did it.

According to AI

How to Swap Your O2 PAYG eSIM

O2 doesn't offer a self-serve option for existing PAYG customers to switch directly online, so you will need to take the following steps: [1, 2]

Visit an O2 Store: The quickest and most reliable method is to drop into your nearest O2 Store. Make sure to bring a valid photo ID (like a passport or driving licence) so a representative can issue you a new eSIM profile and transfer your existing mobile number. [1]
Contact O2 Support: Alternatively, you can request a replacement by calling O2 Customer Service. They will ask you some security questions and can then set up a new eSIM for you. [1]
Install the New Profile: Once you have your new QR code or activation instructions, you can download the eSIM onto your device. Ensure you are connected to Wi-Fi, go to your phone's settings, and tap Add Mobile Plan or Download a new eSIM to scan your new QR code

Thanks guys. I eventually got a reply from RWG and Now customer services. My SIM needed to be reactivated and is working fine now.

Rwg SIM has never asked to top-up but has been suspended because no outgoing usage for 90 days. But they did reactivate it when asked.

O2 classic needs chargeable activity every few months or likewise suspended but did reactivate when asked on Facebook.

Giffgaff I think I kept a card with no credit going for several years by calling 0800 numbers every few months.
