Hi. Vodacom has the most relaxed rules:

Vodacom switches off your SIM if the service has not been used by you for a period in excess of 6 months.

So you don't need to top-up, but only make any chargeable activity like sending a SMS through roaming.

Other providers are shorter and require a top-up.
