Hi @malc89 

It would be wise to Top up 6 monthly to keep it active.  I believe it is necessary over a year.   Keep this sim active by making a chargeable call i.e. a phone call 3 monthly.

In this guide Guide How to Top Up (PAYG) you will see this, under the section:

Keeping Your Sim Connected.

If you don’t top up, add a Bolt On or carry out any chargeable activity at least once in any six month period, your O2 Pay As You Go sim card will be disconnected and you’ll lose any remaining credit on your account.

many thanks , but I used to have an ASDA PAYG as my back up phone

used as required but suddenly they changed rules and a top up was required each 6 months

no info supplied so of course i lost the number

i use O2 regularly but dont top up often...hence question

thanks for the link to T and Cs, i have bookmarked it for reference

phone is used regularly but only topped up when balance gets low...hence question....

i didnt wantb to make same mistake again

ASDA  required regular top ups AND usage to keep alive
