Due to the coronavirus, I have moved back home (outside UK). If I cancel my phone plan, can I still use apps like whats app with my current number?

Hey @Hemali 

 

Unfortunately you won't  be able to use it for a very long time as your number will be assigned to someone else after period of time. From the top of my head it is something in the mark of 45 days but I might be wrong on the exact number. In any case, when you cancel your contract someone else will get your number sooner or later and might wish to register it on Whatsapp under different name. At that point your Whatsapp will stop working. 

 

Kind Regards

If you do get a new number @Hemali I’ve managed to find this on the Whatsapp website for how you may be able to move your existing account to another number.

If your plan with iD Mobile is cancelled, that may have already caused conflict with WhatsApp?
