sim card with no monthly top up or contract

[Dragonrider1]

I want a sim card with no monthly top up or contract. It's for an 'emergency ' phone that will not get regular use.

Does such a sim still exist?

@Dragonrider1 : You could get a PAYG SIM & stop the recurring pack on it.

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 1st 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.
