Phone numbers inactive period

Just wondering what networks offer the longest time between top ups before a number expires?
Need a number or two but dont want to have to top them up every few months because they wont be getting much usage.

Thanks

I believe 02 (now three) has the longest period. There is many posts on this site regards this

Even though o2 are owned by three,you should get an O2 number as you would get o2s terms and conditions not three

o2 sim will still active for 6 months without a topup or chargeable transaction being made. After that you have 2 months to ring them to get your number activated again and your credit reinstated.

So get two sims, get two topups and they will last a few years (or until terms are changed) once you make a chargeable call or text once every 6 months.

Great thanks! Do you guys expect new 086 numbers/sims to be phased out?
