One other problem that has to be borne in mind is the limits of validity some sims put on your credits...I have no problems with limits of validity which are extended automatically by making a call or even just by sending a sms...the British ones, for example. Or United Mobile...one event every 9 months and that's fine...it's up to me to meet the requirement and I see that I do.

OTOH you have some, say some of the French ones, where you lost your credit and your number unless you top up within a limited period of time.

Perhaps I am reading it wrong but just looking at freeglobal sim, it seems after 180 days you lose your credit and your sim unless you top it. I just don't like that.
