From the SpeakOut Canada brochure (available as a PDF on their website somewhere):

"Your mobile number may be cancelled if your account has no activity for 120 consecutive days. Please contact Speak Out WirelessSM Customer Care to establish a new mobile number for your account. Mobile number cancellation does not affect your account balance and expiration. A service activation fee and new wireless phone number may be required to reactivate service."
