Out of the country for a year. Can I suspend my service for more than 365 days?
I will be taking a one year sabbatical and I am wondering if I can suspend my service for more than 90 days. I am full aware the 90 days temporary suspension service, but since I will be travelin...
When a line is suspended, it's exactly that, out of service, No WiFi Calling, no texts. I would suggest you port your number to Google Voice and leave it there for the duration of your sabbatical. You will be able to send and receive texts for free and receive calls and place them to the US for free and have voicemail on your old number for the time you're gone. Google charges something like $20-$25 to port a number into their system.
You can only temporarily suspend a line for 90 days.
Your best bet if you want to keep your number is to do what @drnewcomb2 suggests.
