In a nutshell: If you were signed up for a Straight Talk phone plan but let the plan expire without renewing it, then you need to learn how to reactivate your phone if you want to continue using it. Fortunately, the reactivation process is pretty fast and easy.
If you were signed up for a Straight Talk phone plan but let the plan expire without renewing it, then you need to learn how to reactivate your phone if you want to continue using it. Fortunately, the reactivation process is pretty fast and easy.
To be sure of keeping your previous phone number, you need to reactivate your phone within 30 days of letting your service plan expire. After that period, Straight Talk might assign the number to another phone.Even if you are past the 30 day period, it is worth trying to reactivate it with a hope of getting your old number back, as Straight Talk may not have assigned it to a new phone yet.If your old phone number is no longer available, you will need to activate your phone as if it were a new phone. The procedure is essentially the same as the one described below, but you will also be required to select a new phone number. You will need to provide your phone's IMEI number or serial number, which you can find on the activation card you received with your Straight Talk phone.Your phone's IMEI can also be found under Settings. If you have an Android phone, select "About Phone" from the Settings menu and then "Status." If you have an iPhone, select "General" from the Settings menu and then "About."

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
After helping consumers for 10 years, we realized that you need an impartial, live person you can talk to about comparing the various TV, cable, Internet and phone plans in your area- somebody who can compare the best deals across telecom providers.
