Tried to use a 2degrees SIM card I haven't used in a while, and it doesn't work anymore - I assume this is because it's been inactive for so long.

Is this the case? How often do you have to use a sim card for it to remain active?

You don't need to use the SIM you need to topup once every 13 months to keep it active

Cheers John. Just to confirm after 365 days any remaining credit expires, you then have 30 days to top-up to keep the number active.
