How long before my unused number gets reassigned
I've been abroad for 18 months now, and havent used my sim card to make calls or texts. I can rejoin from the website, but if i do, will i keep the same number?
My current number is still showing up on my dashboard.

Hey,
If you speak with our webchat team they will be able to check if your previous number is still available 😊 - Natalie

If the number is still showing on your dashboard, you could try buying a plan and see if it does work. Alternatively, you could web chat with Smarty support first to check the situation.
