I mean, once a top up has been credited to a phone, some only last for 30 days. Does anyone have a tariff where the top ups do not have to be used within a certain timescale? Cost per minute isn't a primary concern.

I did not realise. I thought credit only lasted a set time once it was activated. Thanks for the info.
While the initial credit that comes with the phone has a 60 day expiry, subsequent Cash Top Ups (£10, £15 and £20) do not run out.
It seems that most networks pre-pay systems are aligned on TopUp expiry; and good for them too!
T-Mobile airtime credit expires after 180 days.
O2 airtime credit expires after 180 days.
Virgin Mobile airtime credit expires after 365 days
Vodafone airtime credit expires after 90 days.
If your account remains out of credit or unused for the above length of time, you will loose this credit and your account and number will be terminated. No refunds are given.
*3-Mobile: After 30 days, your account will still be active but you must top up your account before 90 days otherwise your service will end.
Click here and look under the 'Cash Top Up' heading - No Expiry Date!
Also the Vodafone 90 days thing is new to me. You sure about that?
Where on earth are you getting your information??? Are you just making it up???
I know for a fact that the Next step,All calls and flat rate price plans had a 90 day expiry. However, Original and Smartplus seem to be 180 days from looking at their site.
Next step was a price plan which was introduced a few years ago and was a real rip off. Vodafone would take 50p away from your account and that would be your calling allowance to call anyone at anytime for just 10p per minute, this would be done everyday, if you run out of credit, then incomming calls will be barred. This was a stupid price plan and it was a good thing that Vodafone stopped it.
