What is the best SIM card provider to keep a phone number while living abroad?
Hi,
I will be moving abroad soon and need to keep my UK phone number active for a couple of years.
What is the most convenient way to do this?
I currently have Smarty which confirmed I need to buy 1 plan every 6 months. Their cheapest plan is £5 so it would cost me £20 in 2 years (double it to keep my partner's number too).
Is there a SIM provider that would allow me to keep my number active for cheaper?
I think with GiffGaff I only need to spend 30p every 6 months to keep the number active, anyone did this successfully? Any alternative suggestions?
