B.T.L. told me you keep # for life. You don't have to keep credit on phone either.He did suggest that someone just call the cell to make sure it is still working.
I called my San Pedro cell phone yesterday and heard my voice message (I guess my phone is still on). I am pretty sure that my minutes have expired since I have not made a call from there since the beginning of June.
It's very depressing to hear your own voice speaking from San Pedro, knowing you are not actually there
