UK SIM card expiry
I usually travel to the UK once a year and would like to retain the same mobile number for various reasons. Of course I will make a quick call/txt every 3 or 6 months to keep the SIM "alive" if necessary, but what is the exact expiry date on a prepaid SIM with credit still on it? Does it change depending on the mobile operator? What is the expiry on EE for instance?

The website is the best place to find the exact policy for your particular plan. Often topping it up will reset the time, but that varies from carrier to carrier.
