Reloads are by credit card on their website. It will not expire, as long as you use it once within 12 months and top up 10 € every year. You need to switch off data traffic on all mobile apps on your device as long as you don't add extra credit because your SIM will blocked, if anything else but text messenging is detected and you don't have credits.
