I used to port my number in and out all the time using free/$2 sim cards to take advantage of the various mobile provider deals.

Now it seems most if not all providers require a recharge or credit upon activation.

Are there any mobile providers they still allow sim activation without recharge?

  Last time I used Telstra it needed a recharge I believe. Can you confirm it works without recharge in recent times?

    Within the last month from memory.
    Just scroll down to the last option "recharge later/activate without recharge".

      I got some old unactivated Telstra sims lying around the house somewhere from 2017. You reckon they will work?

        @HairyChickens: It's Telstra… 50/50

How long Can it stay activated without charging?

    Longer than not drink water for a human.

Anyone know if Boost still allows this? Or any other options?
