Keeping a deceased person's number

[Tuffers91]

Hi,

My Dad passed away 4 months ago. I cancelled his monthly SIM contract shortly after.

I was wondering what the policy is on if, or when, the phone number gets recycled and reissued to another customer

Is there a way to hold this number from being recycled?

Or if not, then can I request the number and add it to my policy (as we were both on EE) as a second sim.

Thanks in advance to any responses.

Hi @Tuffers91 

Welcome to the community. I'm so sorry for your loss. 

If you fill in this bereavement form, a specialist team will be in contact with you to discuss your father's number.

You could have taken over the no. when you informed EE some months ago. It's probably too late now.
