Number inactivity disconnect

[fnanfne]

Hello

Does anyone know how long it takes for o2 to automatically disconnect a number if it is inactive? I want to keep my PAYG number "alive" until the time comes that I can make it my main driver (contract). I've spoken to o2 but I get different answers ranging from 1 month all the way up to 6 months.

Basically, I will top up my PAYG number with £10 every X months, in order to ensure o2 does not automatically disconnect the number. At the moment, I will do this every 5 months based on the last phone call I had with o2 but I'm left unsure.

Thanks for reading!

You need a chargeable phone call or a top up at least once every 6 months.
