Question about numbers on contract...

[TrueTenacity]

What happens to the cellphone number when you cancel / terminate your contract with Vodacom?

 

[bullfrog]

Assuming you don't port it, the number will be cancelled and put back into the system to be given to someone else later.

Sometimes the reason for you getting random calls asking for someone else if you get a new number.

 

[TrueTenacity]

Awesome... so when I cancel the contract I took out for my ex, the number just goes away... until someone else gets it... :-D

 

[ChilliGirl]

Yes that's right.

& unless she signs a new contract asking for that number to be transfered to her, simultanious with your cancelling of the contract you signed, the chances of her getting that number are seriously slim.....

 

[TrueTenacity]

She cannot afford to take out a contract so the number will be redistributed to a more deserving member of society

Are there still Months in-contract time?

if there is you just request a sim swop coz "your phone is gone...." then you keep the sim til the contract is over & then cancel @ start of last month . In the meantime you can use the in-contract talk time with you family & friends.

Yeah, I sim swapped it a while ago already... much to her displeasure... and have been using it with my 3G card...

 

[ChilliGirl]

no point in wasting it.

 

[TrueTenacity]

Definitely not... being put to good use killing boredom @ work

 

[ChilliGirl]

use it in a phone, and spread rumours to all her friends etc, lol

 

[TrueTenacity]

Rodga... she's doing a wonderful job of that all by herself...

Yeah if you cancel it, the number goes back in the pool. If you wanted to keep it (which i see you dont) you could move the number down to pre-paid and still use it.
