kelly18, I'm right here to help, as I know it is important to have all the information when making changes to your account. I hope you have an enjoyable time out of the country. All prepaid accounts that do not have an activate paying account will lose the phone number after 60 days. So, on the 61st day, your number will be disconnected & it wouldn't be retrievable when you sign back up for prepaid service when you come back from being out of the country for 70 days. I hope this information is beneficial. AliciaD_VZW
