Suspending your number temporarily makes it unavailable for mobile service while keeping it safe from reassignment. It’s a better option than deactivation, as deactivated numbers may be reassigned, and you might not be able to reactivate the same one.

We recommend suspending your number if:

• Your phone is lost, and you’re waiting for a replacement.
• You’re traveling internationally and won’t need service until you return.

Note: Suspending a number stops usage on that line, but your Ting plan charges will continue.
