If your number is deleted, you just log on to EKIT with your UK number. Then you hit a button and reactivate the U.S. portion of the account and immediately are assigned a new U.S. number. The new number shows up right on your account page.

Thanks for updating us on this issue. Was the phone number the same area code? Did you have any choice in the new number?

I check monthly or so and click the 'activate' button in order to keep the same number. The fifty cents route is not for cheap me. Of course we could use it more often to keep it alive, but.............

Anything else about the process we should be aware of?
