How long will the mobile phone be in arrears? I want to stop using my mobile phone number for 5 months, but I still want to keep this number. What's the best way?

It is suggested to pay the arrears of the mobile phone in a few days, and then pre-store part of the phone bill to handle the mobile phone number protection business as soon as possible. The validity period of the number protection business is generally 3-6 months, and it should be re-applied after the expiration. It is best not to owe money during the number protection period. Generally, the number will be cancelled after 3 months. If the number source in some areas is tight, the number will be cancelled after 2 months. If you have time, you'd better handle it as soon as possible, and don't be nervous because the number is cancelled.
