Hi

Old number has been terminated
Digi

Wish to keep it because it has many contacts.


Can we buy a prepaid number (from other telco) and create our own number?
Wish to create the old number.
Since Whatsapp requires OTP to activate it.


tq

1. walk into digi/celcom, they can reregister the number if recently terminated
2. you can choose your own number on yoodo
3. you can choose your own number on digi kiosk

Yoodo is Celcom?
Identical number as my old number?

Cannot and nope.

Go back to DiGi and try to appeal if the termination is not long ago.

If not, considered gone with the wind.

I did.
But not 'appeal'...'request'
The DiGi agent told me
We'll see in a few days

No u cant "create" number.

As mentioned earlier fastest way is to go back to the same telco ask to subscribe as Postpaid, wait for min period cooldown before u can convert to Prepaid (or Port-out).

Also as mentioned earlier, ur whatsapp still functioning (existing phone) as long u dont logout u still can use via Wifi.

I just want to reactivate my whatsapp via the old number.
Otherwise needs to whatsapp ALL of my contacts to inform that I am using a new number rclxub.gif

Never ever clear cache/data.
It will log you out of whatsapp.
I was so dumb

From Digi FAQs, no chance to get it back after 25 days of termination. Apparently, only Digi has this reactivation info explicitly stated on their FAQs.

Or I could ask WhatsApp to retrieve my old WhatsApp account.
Prior to the termination, I was using WhatsApp registered with m old phone number.
But the SIM on my phone is a new number.

As long as not logged out/cleared data/uninstall, you can change the number on the same WhatsApp account should digi confirmed to you that the old number is impossible to reinstated

Thank you very much for this.

I did sent a request WhatsApp 2 days ago though

'How to Recover My WhatsApp Account Without Phone Number and Without Email'



Still waiting for their reply
Should I wait for their reply or proceed with the 'How to change your phone number' video?

Let say the old number can be reinstated, can I reverse the process? tongue.gif

Your priority NOW is try to get your old number Reinstated as soon as possible

Only when digi tells you it's too late then you try to recover WhatsApp account
