There'd be no way they would track it down 🙁

You could try posting it on the phone exchange forum, although only a small percentage of users visit this site. If it's that important to you, it might be worth a shot...

I've called SO cust service and asked if they would give me that #. They won't. SO cust service tells me it's in use. However when I call it, I get the fast busy so my guess is still out there on a SIM "waiting to be bought". Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I've tried to plead my case twice with SO cust service in hopes that there would be someone there willing to help me but so far no luck.

I've also thought about calling the # on a regular basis hoping that it'll be bought and activated by someone willing to trade SIMs and/or sell it.

And I've also thought about posting the number somewhere here in the forums (Phone Exchange maybe?) in hopes that someone out there comes across it for me.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?
