4. Insurance number
The official account validity period rules are:
If you use your SIM card at least once every six months, your call credit will be valid forever. If you don’t do this, your SIM card will expire, and so will your number and call credit. Here are a list of things you can do to keep your numbers active:
- Call others yourself
- send text messages
- mobile internet usage
- Purchase Internet Plans
- Top up your call balance
According to the above-mentioned official account protection strategy, the safest way is to send text messages every six months, which is about more than RMB 4 each time, which is the highest account protection fee
However, there is a saying circulating on the Internet that you can also transfer money to the company’s account through SEPA to achieve the effect of recharging the balance. The specific operations of this method are as follows:
Support IBAN transfer and recharge, with a minimum of 0.01 euros. Prepaid SIM requires SEPA transfer to IBAN account: NL19 INGB0007811670. Reference requires a note on the mobile phone number starting with 06
The SEPA transfer successfully charged 1 euro to the balance, which means that the 0.01 euro account protection method is effective!
At the same time, don’t worry too much about forgetting to protect your number and causing your number to become invalid. The official will send an email notification half a month before the expiration. If there is no action within a week, another alert email will be sent out.
Attach the official website recharge address, you can recharge using visa/mastercard, with a minimum recharge of 10 euros:https://www.simyo.nl/prepaid/opwaarderen
