vacation plan to keep phone number

[bobbanting]

We will be out of country, but would like to keep our phone numbers for when we return.  Is there not a vacation plan with a better rate?

If you have a grand fathered plan then you would lose it.  If your plan is still available then you can change it back upon your return.

Thanks.

If your present plan is grandfathered and no available, you are correct.  You will not be able to get the grandfathered plan back.

@bobbanting  no vacation plan.  But how long you are going away?

you can move down to $15 plan if it is really short term.

You can suspend the plan for 90 days , and re-activate for a month , and then suspend for another 90 days

or you can port out to VoIP provider as suggested above

You can port your phone number over to Fongo but you would be charged $25.

There are numerous ways to do.

How long will you be away for?

How many rewards do you have per month in dollars?

What plan are you on?

Do you have auto pay set up?

Do you have any data or? that was a promo when you joined up?

No formal vacation plan with Public mobile.  

You could change to the $15 plan. Remove autopay.  You can suspend your account for 90 days, pay again $15 and suspend another 90 days.
