According to many wind users and a wind discussion forum, the sim will not expire but the line will be temporarily deactivated and the credit will be "frozen".

IMHO should be some kind of trick to avoid that the cards will be used only for the "noi 2" option (a sort of "flat rate" between 2 wind numbers, 400 minutes/month for 5 euros/month)

Anyway, it seems that a SMS is enough to keep the card alive, and you need to spent at least 0,01 eur. every THREE months, and not monthly.
