Cell C prepaid no more expiry date?

Are you saying you go much more than four months between recharges, and have never been disconnected? Do you buy data bundles? How often?

I loaded the R399/3GB valid 12 months bundle.

Please clarify this - Does data usage count, or do I run the risk of the sim being used in an iPad for data only, being recycled?

To all the Service providers:
I have to say that I think that the recycling of numbers by the service providers without taking the effort to contact the individual who RICA'd the number, is not right. SMS's to Sims in use for data only is a waste of time (if it even is being done). You have the info, at least do your customers the courtesy of notifying them that their numbers will expire unless they use it.

It actually a very good idea if they could SMS us at least a week before they terminate our service and recycle our numbers.Even if it is a data sim coz the mobile dashboard has a SMS feature so you can't say you did not receive the message

If you use your SIM, you don't need any notification. If you don't use, you won't be able to read messages.
Problem is as you missed the main issue. If SIM is registering to the network on regular basis it is enough indication of being in use and service shoudn't be terminated. I had Cell C SIM with R100, it had been used it for emergency. One day no signal, SIM had been cut. Called CC, they confirmed. It is pure nonsence.
