@lovepreetkaur : No, when you cancelled your contract, you relinquished your no. for good.

@lovepreetkaur You should of requested it to be changed over to a PAYG when you terminated you’ll of kept the number. If you just terminate you give up the right to use that number as it’s terminated as per your request.
