Is there a temporary disconnect option for Prepaid?

We live in the USA half a year and in Canada the other half. In an effort to downsize to two phones, we are planning on cancelling our Canadian plans. We just got my wife a Prepaid and activated it complete with phone number and all. After reading about the potential for massive bills when data roaming in Canada, we are now hesitant to use this phone up there for the six months. A least our other phone here is a Pay-as-you-Go non-smart phone so we'll use it in Canada occasionally to place calls and pay the 69 cents a minute. We'll get a pay-as-you-go in Canada for my wife.

My question then - can one temporarily suspend our service but since we're only gone six months keep our number and avoid a reactivation fee? It's pointless to pay $45 a month just to keep a number when the phone will be shut off. What is the activation fee?

Thanks.
