can i recover my number i recently had changed

I recently had my number changed but then realized that my number is the only way I could log into certain other accounts and now im locked out of them. is there a way I can recover that number and have it back to my account

  • Oh no! We do actually have a way of requesting your old number back depending on how long ago you had it changed. Just Contact Us when you have some time and let them know you want your old number back.

  • doubtful. i mean unless its still not in use but usually about 30 days after the line was closed the number will get recycled and tossed back out to someone else.

    Would that require a provider to provider request for the number?

    Is it at all possible to get a number back after six or seven years of the number isn’t in use and is in T-Mobile’s number pool?
