Lost my number and it is available. How do I get it back?

I lost my number from being traveling abroad extensive time. My phone number got inactive in May this year, someone picked up my number a month ago. Now that person cancalled my number probably due to many of my marketing calls are calling the old number. Now the number is available, how do I get it back? Carrier is AT T, supposed it needs to go through the 3 months decivaciton period before recycle again. Anyway to get my number back now?

Hi @Galaxy and thanks for posting.

This is tough to say without more info, please send the full phone number and at the very least we can check if it’s in a pool of numbers available to us.

Interesting, if ATT is holding on to the number, even after this 3 month period you’re referring to , it may be beneficial to have them assign the number to some sort of plan and then port it out (to us or anyone else).

If you could send us the number we’ll relay any infomation we have on it.
