I also keep a throw away phone in my car with a GiffGaff SIM with £15 of
credit for emergency use. I just have to remember to make one phone call
on it every 6 months to keep the SIM alive. The same credit has been on
that phone/SIM for at least 3 years.


I get email reminders when it's going to expire and a 'we missed' you
after I do.

I think the O2 321 PAYG tariff might be cheaper than GiffGaff, if not
calling another GiffGaff phone etc (depending).
