Keeping PAYG phone number without top-up the sim card

Hello,

I have bought a PAYG sim for my dad as he came visiting me for a couple of weeks. I would like to know after his travel is finished, do I need to keep topping up the sim card if he would like to keep the number.

If so, do I need to top-up every month or I can top-up like every 179 days (according to T&C 6.3 for PAYG, I need to connect that phone to network every 180 days)?

Thanks for the help

Edward

The latter.

All EE PAYG SIMs come primed with a recurring Pack of allowances ready to bought out of your PAYG credit as soon as it is sufficient.

Text STOP PACK to 150 before you next top-up & you can use the SIM for calls & texts but not data as normal PAYG at standard per-unit rates paid for out of your standing PAYG credit balance.

To save the SIM going into hibernation due to lack of use, just remember within every 179 days (~ 6 months) to make a chargeable action like making a chargeable call or text, topping up or buying a Pack or Add-on, not just using your mins, texts or data from any Pack or Add-on you might have.
