sorry needed to ask this. how do I keep my number from being recycled...my NIMC slip is delaying

Hi BunbleBee, MTN KEEP MY NUMBER (KMN) enables MyCustomers to keep phone number(s) active on the MTN Network without carrying out any activities (Voice, Data & SMS) for as long as 3 years.

The Service prevents the MTN number(s) from being disconnected/recycled on the MTN Network for the period of activation

Hi JideSM,

About a week ago, I noticed my phone no longer had service and honestly, I did not know about the "Keep my Number" program until I went to the MTN website searching for a solution.

The line has been actively roaming and I use it for my banking transactions and to receive alerts. The last text message I received on that number was about 6 weeks ago.

I mailed the customer service address to let them know I cannot afford to lose my number as that is what I have on my but they've been saying that the line has been disconnected and cannot be reconnected.

Please what are my options ?
