Could I have a vacation pause for five months while in Europe, but still keep my original phone number

Public Mobile has no such vacation pause feature. You can disable autopay and as long as there aren't enough funds already in your Public Mobile account for the next renewal, your plan will get suspended. If your plan is in suspension for 90 days, your Public Mobile account will be permanently closed.

hi @ridler

only 90 days, not 5 months

Disable Autopay before your trip, your plan will suspend at the end of that cycle. Then reactivate around 85 or 86 days for a month, and let it suspend again till you are back

@ridler

not for five months. Consider using service such as NumberBarn to "park" your number for the duration of your trip. Your account will be deactivated, but when you get home, activate a new Public Mobile account, then port the old number in from NumberBarn.
