Need someone knowledge on PAYG SIM networks to recommend me one based on these needs

[susieshow]

I'm looking to change from this useless EE PAYG SIM and find something more suitable to me but I don't know how to find what I'm looking for. I came from Orange Dolphin and just want something that works similar, even if I need to buy a decades old one off eBay.

Does anyone know a network that has these features:

• Credit to not expire
• Not deactivate before 6 months of inactivity
• Ability to buy extra data with credit balance: I want to be able to buy one day of data & 1 week of data
• Minimum top-up £5
• Top-up only when needed, no monthly/auto renews/subscriptions

No personal knowledge but this might help?

Thanks, it doesn't say whether those have the features I'm looking for on there unfortunately though

I have a Tesco payg sim. Top up when I want (I think the min might be £10 though) and get £20 free credit. I don't think the credit expires but i'm not sure about the 6 mths deactivate thing.

I think Asda mobile ticks a lot of your boxes, except possibly the one day/week of data one.

I'm looking for the same kind of thing, I only use my phone for emergencies ,it's not a smart phone I don't text email or use internet on it ever. I was happily on PAYGO o2 & topped up about twice a year, so very low cost, but they've just told me they're ditching it and now it will be £10 per month for the lowest tariff. I can't afford that for a phone I barely use ! I don't understand all the data stuff because I just want to have it for use in an emergency, so calls only and doing the one time passcode security stuff when I need it

Well I ended up switching to Tesco mobile who still offer a PAYGO no contract sim. I took the PAYGO lite tariff so I can top up when I want to & only have to make a call or text once every 6 months to keep my credit, no monthly charges which is great for a low user like me. Lowest top up is £10 which is fine.
