Keeping O2 Ireland SIM active without any credit
I have an O2 Ireland SIM which currently has no credit. I'd like to keep it active, particularly as it has a memorable number. However, I don't want to add €10 of credit. Is there any way of adding a smaller amount, maybe just €1, so I can receive a 1-second roaming call every 6 months?

Yes, I was similarly thinking of porting my number to a Three SIM, as I already have one that's not yet activated. The problem with Meteor is that you have to add €5 every 150 days to stop it expiring, and they charge €2 for a micro-SIM, making it more difficult to order than a free one.

In fairness, €10 a year isn't bad value to keep a mobile number in foreign country. You can probably get to do quite a few services like the free webtext to friends in Ireland, and free incoming roaming with Meteor. Hard to see how you wouldn't get a tenners worth of value over the year, even if you are abroad. |

Somehow it's normal in Ireland to give free international webtexts. I also get them from Vodafone IE. :)
Whereas here in The Netherlands sending SMS via your operator's website costs the same as from your mobile phone... |

Some of the new SIMs seem to come with 50 cents to 2 euros on them, so it might be as cheap to just get a new SIM via someone on eBay Ireland And I think an incoming roaming call every 12 months is sufficient to keep it alive |
I eventually topped up with €5 in an O2 shop in Ireland. It seems this is the only way to top up by less than €10.

Hi,
I have got my o2-ie SIM for almost 10 years. At the beginning you needed to do something chargable (eg send a SMS) every 90 days, now it is every 180 days. So just top up 10 € and with app. 10 ct/SMS starting tomorrow while roaming it will last for ever..... |
