Is it possible to re-use a SIM card that has been deactivated because of porting to another carrier by re-activating it and getting a new number?

That is too bad. So the sim card is worthless now?

I don't think re-activating a sim should be an issue. I believe they can assign a new number to it without issue.

No they can't. The deactivated sim is worthless. Just buy a new sim.

Why are speakout sim's different from other carriers? I've re-activated de-activated sims from Bell and Rogers, I assumed Speakout would be the same.

I have always known that when a number/account is tied to a sim, and that number is ported to another provider, the old sim is deactivated. Once the number/account is deleted from a sim, there is nothing to get reactivated. I have never heard of an old sim being reactivated, and I've had a cell phone since 1989. There's nothing in it financially for the provider. Once a number is ported, the old sim is dead.

I had 2 sim cards stolen and reported it to Speakout, They froze my account and
transfered the credit on the old sims to new sims. The trick is you have to call in
before activating the new sim, so that they can transfer information or previous numbers onto it. In one case, I activated a sim and once that was done, I couldn't transfer an old number to it. So its important to do any changes before activating your new sim.
