Yeah... my family is having hard times so dad hasn't paid our Verizon Wireless bill in about 4 months, they're threatening collections on us this very moment. I want to know if my phone number will be erased, given away, or anything like that because of this? I already know they deactivated the service so I can't use the phone... but if by some miracle we manage to pay the balance off, will I still even have my same phone number at this point? I know 4 months is super long to not pay, but times are hard...
