But it is a place to crowdsource community experiences.

How do people go a year without topping up? Living Overseas?

Only having the number active to deal with obsolete businesses that refuse to let you communicate with them without giving them one is my main reason.

Need them for google accounts, and its a security liability to have the recovery number be in the same device that is at risk of being compromised.

Hell, I have a number which I just use for lost cat flyers whenever I need to do that.

To answer questions.

2 degrees was contacted, but apparently gave different answers both no and possibly yes if you go into a 2 degrees store,  and the account may have expired early July or early August,

Unfortunately Mrs Morgenmuffel struggles with giving straight answers and accurate details owing to past issues.

Anyway I will probably grab her a new sim.

And the phone is only topped up yearly or as needed, as everything else is done online,  and the phone is really only used for emergency contact and the bank stuff
