Do True SIM cards from 7-Eleven expire if unused for a while or if I stop paying?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, anybody know if the True SIMs from 7-eleven lose the number/die if you go away for some time or stop paying?

In some countries, it can be 3 or 6 months.

Or is the only solution just to keep a balance and let it autorenew on current or reduced plan, or maybe just a small balance without a plan is enough, and plans can be reinstated on return?

Not optimistic i could find out from 7-eleven staff.

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
True SIM cards purchased from 7-Eleven do not immediately expire if unused. Users can extend the validity of their SIM cards for up to 180 days by adding a small amount of credit or using specific codes via the app. Maintaining a balance or periodically renewing the plan is advisable to ensure the number remains active.

Yes, the maximum period is 12 months. Keep renewing if you want to retain the number

put the simcard inside your phone and dial

*934*180#

1. Enable roaming 2. Check balance, will tell you also end of validity 3. After minimum of 3 months of use you can extend the validity for up to 180 days just by sending some code (Google it! ) and pay about 15 THB for the service.

Download the app and register your number.

Opan "Bills and Usage" and choose " Buy Validity".

You can now choose up to 180 days added validity which will cost you as little as 15 THB!

No need to add regularly money if you use this option.

The App will always show you the remaining validity and you can easily buy a new phone or data plan in the App when you return.

"Download the app" no need, full of trackers anyway !

Download the app. And you can add money via app.

It will tell you how long it will stay active for.

I've used the same sim since 2016
