You have a maximum of 6 months to consume your credit. That's 6 months from activation or the last top-up. Then your SIM falls in passive mode for another month. Finally, after 7 months you risk that your SIM is going to be terminated.

BTW: After three months of not using it (= not debitable charge on the SIM) Vodafone charges a minimum fee of €0.50/months to run down your balance.

For the best validity, it's better to choose Orange (1 year).
