AmaySim Prepaid might suit. If I read the T&Cs right, credit applied
lasts for 90 days, but unused credit rolls over into a fresh 90 day
period each time you recharge if you do it within 90 days. Call and
SMS costs seem reasonable, too.

Caveat: haven't used that plan myself, but am reasonably happy with
its sibling $40p/m mostly unlimited + 4GB mobile data plan, and am
considering swapping over to this plan next month to trim call costs.
I understand you can swap from one to the other as you like.
