Any prepaid with more than one month credit expiry?

I only need a prepaid SIM card for calling overseas occasionally. When I
signed up with the Telstra prepaid (over the phone) the third option was
that the credit would last longer than one month which turned out to be a
load of garbage.
Are there any prepaid phone plans in Australia where the credit last over
one month?

When we had overseas visitors here recently I purchased two pre-paid NextG SIMs
from Coles. They have credit til the end of November, I think it is.

Telstra prepaid can last longer than a month with the Long Life choice
Your choice can be changed by following the link

$30 or $40 recharge can last 6 months.
$60 or $100 recharge can last 12 months

Damned Telstra crooks! My phone and their website says:

"Current Offer: Telstra Long Life

Recharge activity: 20/04/09 16:57 $60.00

Expiry Date: 21/04/10"

and now *you* tell me that that's "a load of garbage"!?

Uh ... *Telstra*!?

Savvytel's credits never expire as long as you use the phone for an outbound
call/sms at least every 6 months

or

Lebara mobile where credits last 12 months with cheap national and
international calls

http://www.lebara-mobile.com.au/en/

Both use the Voda network, I believe
