@Zed_k If you log into your self serve account does it say "suspended'? If so, you can reactivate it for 10 days to transfer your number.

Yes & no. My understanding that once they are in the bin they are inaccessible for several months. Plus, Public Mobile does not seem to have access to any "traditional" area codes; 519, 416, 905, 613 etc.

Sometimes seems, PM can recover the number if deactivation is only a few days old. Though one cannot count on this.

I don't think its possible to make your account active for few days. May be you can get $11 text only plan for 10 days. 

If there is any other way, staff member will help you port out your number.
