TL;DR
A Magticom SIM can continue receiving SMS abroad without a monthly fee. To keep the number active, top up at least 3 GEL once per quarter; the money remains in your balance.
To keep a Magticom number active long-term, add at least 3 GEL to the balance once every quarter. There is no monthly charge, and the top-up stays in your account.
A local Magticom number can remain useful after leaving Georgia because it can still receive SMS, including verification codes for online services and subscriptions.
Try the places that top up public-transport cards: these payment points often also accept mobile-balance payments. Check that Magticom top-ups are available before paying.
