I generally remove pins for prepaids...after all there's never all that much money on them and 99.9% of the time, there are no provisions to pay you back such trivial amounts if the card is lost (telcoms are only too happy to steal your credit...see Otange FR, SFR among others).....

But on post paid, you should keep the pin requirement but what you should do is make the pin one you won't forget.
Yes, Vodafone does not allow to remove the PIN from the SIM-cards.
generally i would always enable the PIN. Not because of the money - but if someone steal your phone and make some bad jokes or trigger the 911 you will be hold responsible for it.

Agreed. You can always make the PINs on all your cards the same number. You can use a birthdate or your house number or something. It's not a bank card, after all.
