Giffgaff. You just have to make one chargeable call or text every 6
months to keep it "alive" and I think they warn you in good time before
they close the account. Topup credits last indefinitely (ie top up,
don't buy a monthly "goodybag"). It's ideal for low usage.

Runs on the O2 network.

Also Three's 321 tariff, topups do not run out. They also do a free
200MB per month data card.
I think everyone requires occasional usage to keep the SIM active.


Doesn't exist anymore.


Really - where do you look to not see that?


three.co.uk the 321 PAYG is nowhere to be seen. Looking at the T&Cs it
looks like it was removed in March or May. I forget which.

Apparently the reward SIM is still available.

That's out of date. Hopefully this link works, Three makes these link hard
to find.

I agree that those links are hard to find. Go to the bottom of their web
pages and follow the link to Terms & Conditions. Click Price Guides.
This link will take you straight there.

http://www.three.co.uk/terms-conditions/price-guides

They have current and old (321) PAYG and Mobile Broadband (which
includes Data Reward PAYG).
