Restarting a previously cancelled mobile number

Hi, 

 

I relocated abroad last year but have returned. I cancelled my number but would like to see if it can be started again. 

the amount of OTP's sent to mobiles now has increased so cannot access a lot of things .

 

thanks

Hi @Ggb17  if you cancelled it you won't be able to reactivate it. It will probably have been recycled and being used by someone else now.

@Ggb17 

Cancelled mobile numbers are reissued and it doesn't necessarily take long for that to happen.
