My wife had an O2 number (begins 07732). I realise that with number portability these days, that doesn't really mean anything any more. She was on pay-as-you-go but didn't use the phone much. Indeed, she used it so little that the number was deregistered. O2 have no record of the number any more.
Is it possible to get the number back? And on O2?

Depends. You can ask O2 but there are no guarantees. A lot depends how long it has been inactive

Gosh, thank you for the swift replies. I very much appreciate it. It would seem that this would fall under the 'difficult queries' section of the guide Enlli linked. So hopefully if I tag @Martin-O2 that might bring the attention of the Community Team.
