I desperately need to reactivate my old number

Tinytimmi
Fledgling

I am on a phone contract and recently decided to change my number back in November. My phone then had to be repaired and now I can't log into my email address which is very important. As it was set up on 2-step verification. Without access to this email address I now can't log in to other various platforms. This has really effected me, I desperately need my old number back so that I can access these, even if this means having two numbers on a contract. Please help! p.s i've tried other ways to gain access and everything has failed, this is my only hope!

Hi @Tinytimmi,

I'm sorry to hear you've lost access to your number. Can you help me understand what's happened in a bit more detail? Did you cancel the associated plan for the number in question, port another number onto that SIM, or did you specifically request that we supply you with a new number instead for the same plan?

If your SIM has been misplaced, for example when the phone was being repaired, then that shouldn't affect the underlying account, you should be able to request a replacement SIM still. You can do this through customer services, or by popping into a Three store with your photo ID. If it's one of the other scenarios I described above, let me know a bit more and I'll check if there's any options to help.

Thanks,
Jonathan
