Number Parking

RadChad — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 21:15:13 GMT

Hi there,

My son is going to be leaving the country for 2 years, and we don't want him to lose his number.
Is there a way we can park it with public mobile until he gets back?

Thanks

So the final cost for parking a number plus 3 months of service/year at the minimum $15 plan is:

$15*3 - ($10 + 0.75*3) =~ $32.75 + taxes

Average to less than $3/monthly, that is if you can perfectly hit repayment at 90th day

I'll just need to be extra careful to make payment to not spill over 90 days.

You could port the number out to voip.ms. If it just sat probably would cost $2-$3 a month. But could use it too using a compatible app. Of course would lose the PM plan, rewards, etc.

Take a look around. https://voip.ms/residential/products/voip-phone-service

Porting a number then porting back/somewhere else also add costs to be taken into consideration 😁 since porting out will lose existing rewards status might as well shop for a new plan somewhere.
