Nearly all networks will deactivate the SIM card 6 months after the last change in the credit balance. Exceptions are Lycamobile (3 months) and White Mobile (2 months). In practice, most networks will also start the 6 months from the last incoming call, but this is not guaranteed by the terms and conditions. Giffgaff allows some additional ways to keep your SIM card active, making it the best SIM card for an infrequent visitor to the UK; the full list is at
