Hi guys,

I'm gonna port my speakout number to Petro Canada mobile to take advantage of the lower long distance rate. Will my SIM still be valid so I can sell it (ie can they assign it a new number?).

Another related question: I have another SIM that has had no credit for a couple of months. Will it ever be cancelled? Can it be reactivated so I can sell it?

Cheers.

No. Once the number assigned to it is ported out it's just a souvenir.

See FAQ #13a.

That sucks...but thanks for the help.

For anyone else who is curious, FAQ 13a says I have 2 SIM souvenirs
