How long will an unactivated replacement SIM remain viable?

Hey Legend

While reading through other posts, i notice that another customer found themselves in the situation whereby they lost connectivity (reason is irrelevant), and your advice was to have another SIM (replacement SIM) in hand if the situation arose again. Thereby maintaining connectivity. 

This is logical, so without having any issues myself with my SIM, i've ordered a replacement SIM (future proofing). My question is, how long will the replacement SIM remain operational without activation?.

If i put the SIM in a draw for 6months lets say (as of yet, auto renewal in place) then an issue occurs, will i be able to activate the SIM 3,6,9 months later. How long does the SIM remain viable without activation.

thank you in advance

The replacement SIM will not be operational at all without activation.

It should remain viable for use indefinitely as far as I know. 

You might want to double check with 48 support to be sure though.

Edit: I edited the thread title to make it more accurate.

Hey Legend

(as of yet, auto renewal in place) was supposed to be written in behind "haven't had any issues with my SIM", sorry!
