Drawing what resources? Each time someone calls the phone, Vodafone receive a termination fee simply for connecting the call.
To help with network upkeep all the networks should perhaps set the minimum top-up at £10, and if no outbound activity is recorded for 6 months then the phone number is lost. This would guarantee an income of £20 per year from every PAYG customer. I think we'll see something happening when termination fees are cut again.
