re-activating a canceled line from abroad
Hi, I'm a student and I studied abroad this year. I cancelled (not suspended) my T-mobile line when I left the US. I still have the SIM card. I'm coming back to the US soon and I'd like to re-activate my line with my old sim card. Can I do this without having to call T-mobile from an international number? I'd like to do this ASAP before I return. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi my no. Has been cancelled and even my service has been cancelled ?
If your account is still open. You can add funds to reactivate your plan. If it has been more than 60 days of your account being inactive. You will need to get a new SIM card and hope that your number is still available when setting it up with a new prepaid account.
Hi my no. Has been cancelled just now, is it possible I can activate the same no. And how ??
@syaoran its actually been just a few months. Thanks for your reply!
Once the SIM has been deactivated, it can't be reactivated. Any line cancelled, the number gets recycled back into the system to be reassigned. When you return to the US, you will need a new SIM and potentially will need a new number, if your old one isn't available. Being a year though, it is pretty much a guarantee that the number has already been reassigned.
