Does it change depending on the mobile operator? What is the expiry on EE for instance?
It depends but it's usually 6 months I believe, I was with EE for a short while and it definitely is with them. It usually applies to unused credit as well although Three PAYG don't have expiring credit (as far as I know) although your number may be suspended after 180 days (6 months) of inactivity.
