Hi guys,
I want to ask if someone know how to get your old number back?
my situation is like this, I am in overseas now and my number already expired but my whatsapp registered using that number are still active..
you guys know how I can activate the expired number without need to go back to Malaysia?

If already more than 1 month, chances to get back the number is quite hard

hard to get it back

good luck

What telco are you using?
How long has it expired?

Hmm if not mistaken..
Less 1 month got chance to get back the number..

call the telco , if more then a month , no chance ...

I haven't called the telco yet.. It is from dg but already change it to tune talk.. I didnt get any response from my upline,, haihhh..
It's already expired more than 1 month I think, but I can still use my whatsapp.. I just want to get the same number back
I will call the telco later,, Thanks guys for the responses..

1month usually cannot get back.Even call they tell you recycle already. Best you go to telco and tell them. If available they will ask u convert to postpaid.

What I know, the number would be given back to digi..
So even u managed to get it. It's would be digi instead of tune talk..

Just for your information.

very slim chance of getting back the number

Don't think it's possible to get your old number back since it expired more than 1 month ago.
But you can try call telco...

as long u dont reinstall wasap or new owner active wasap using the same number, your wasap number will never expire.

Under WhatsApp apps choose change mobile no and all yr contact inside will auto move to the new mobile no especially yr WhatsApp group.

My relative postpaid outstanding due for 3 months therefore number is terminated due he at oversea. Recently he came back to Malaysia and requested back his number it's kinda lucky that got back DiGi VIP number however failed to get back almost 20 year Maxis number.

On a case-to-case basic, the telcos may consider trying to trace the number if it's still not taken up.

In this case, TS has already port the Digi number to TuneTalk and now that it's terminated, it's gone back to Digi. Slim chance, but I'd say no harm trying and be prepared even to have it activated as a Digi Postpaid account.

Maxis did not give further justification just mentioned that it's not commercial registration anymore. I believed the number is still not registered since it's still not in service.

Don't know what "not commercial registration" mean, but I personally feel they don't have an obligation to "justify" the reason for rejection.

To be willing/able to reactivate a number that's already terminated IMO is more of a "customer service" rather than an obligation, since the telcos have already given us a grace period after the line expires.
