https://community.three.co.uk/t5/Account-and-services/How-can-I-keep-this-number/m-p/53099#M13066 <P>Hello, I use this number last month when I travel in Europe. Now I am in China. I want to use this number again when I travel aboard of China next time. My question is how to keep this number. I merely use this number in China, so what's the cheapest way?</P> Sun, 13 Jul 2025 14:12:33 GMT BoLun 2025-07-13T14:12:33Z https://community.three.co.uk/t5/Account-and-services/How-can-I-keep-this-number/m-p/53099#M13066 <P>Hello, I use this number last month when I travel in Europe.

If you're infrequently returning to the UK you only need to have a chargeable event within 6 months to prevent the account from disconnecting. So the cheapest option is to top up some credit, and occasionally make a outbound call, text, or use some mobile data. Generally sending a text is the cheapest thing you can do.</P> <P>Thanks,<BR />Jonathan</P> Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:49:28 GMT https://community.three.co.uk/t5/Account-and-services/How-can-I-keep-this-number/m-p/53125#M13070 JonathanB 2025-07-14T13:49:28Z
