Post moved to a new thread.

If a line was disconnected "a few years ago", then it will long since have been quarantined and potentially even be back in the pool for re-issue. It's no longer "yours" in the way that you are probably hoping.

Do you have an offline backup of the messages you're seeking to retrieve? That would be a good way to access old content.

Hello @Reece19942.

Thanks for coming here.

It's not possible to allocate a number that has not been in use for a great period of time.

Should you need to request call logs I would recommend giving us a call and our customer care team will be more than happy to look into this for you.
