Distinguish balance from allowance
Account credit and an active pack are different things. Credit may cover particular usage while a pack contains an allowance for a defined period. Adding credit does not necessarily activate the pack you intended. Read the confirmation and account status after each change.
Inspect renewal settings
A prepaid service can renew automatically when a payment method or sufficient credit is available. Find out when renewal is attempted, how to stop it and whether unused allowances expire. Do not infer those rules from the word flexible.
Check occasional-use requirements
If the number is rarely used, ask about inactivity rules and the activity required to keep it available. Keep account access and top-up methods current. A spare SIM is not dependable if it has stopped working when you need it.
Before going overseas
Confirm the provider’s activation and roaming conditions for the PAYG product. A domestic pack does not establish the allowance abroad. Make sure you understand what happens when a pack ends or an overseas allowance is exhausted.
