infrequent use

I mainly use my phone to receive confirmation texts to verify a bank card or account. I got a £10 package thinking that would last me a year or more but even though I hadn't sent any texts or made any calls it expired after a month. Is there a pack tht is designed for very low use, where credit can roll over from month to month?

Don't buy a pack but pay for your calls & texts from your top-ups.

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. Your last top-up went to buy this Pack.

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.
