Number Parking

[RadChad]

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

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.

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

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.
