Hi,

Just to give the Vodafone slant on this to clear up about
disconnections for pay as you talk.

With a pay as you talk number, excluding those that are part of a
Vodafone family group, if you don't top up your number or make a
chargeable call for 180 consecutive days, your number will be placed
into quarantine for 90 days. In the 90 days you'd need to top up by
at least £15.00 which would then automatically re activate your number
again.

If after 180 consecutive days of none use and then 90 consecutive days
of quarantine, you don't take any action, your number would be
disconnected. This is to make way for new numbers and so that after
so many months the number can be recycled for a new user. Any credit
balance would be forfeited.

With customers that are part of a family group, due to how family
works and that you don't actually need to top up or use credit on the
number, you wouldn't be subject to disconnection rules.

I hope this clears it up for you, this info is part of the pay as you
talk terms. The 90 day quarantine period is there to give you the
chance to take action by way of topping up to reactivate the number
again.

Thanks for listening.
