To take some to the confusion away concerning deactivation a short explanation.
The court didn't rule it to be illegal to deactivate cards (of course), but said it was unlawful not to give a refund in case the card was deactivated. As a result the big companies stopped deactivating prepaid cards, one reason being the logistics involved another reason was the free credit that had shown up on so many older cards. People used different payback schemes to get free money on the cards.
Only E-Plus and it's reselles still deactivate the cards usually after 6, 9 or 12 months without recharge or without use, depending on the reseller.
