Are you on the old rewards system or the newer points system? Are you on an older grandfathered plan that you really like or on a promo of some sort? numberbarn means porting out and thus losing everything about your current account.
If you're diligent then the method to put the service on hold is to turn off the subscription for the renewal that will happen after you leave, (or earlier and then have no service while still home) then 85 days later (do not let it go past 90 days) make a manual payment from wherever you are. You can do this a couple ways. Then you basically waste 30 days of service and then another 85 days, so from that payment is 115 days later make another payment.
So you're paying every 4 months roughly. If not on an old plan and not on a promo then changing down to the $15 is the cheaper way to use this method.
