To cut a long story short, is it possible to change my phone number during a contract?

Reason is, i canceled my old contract rather than getting a pac code meaning that number has been lost. But if that number has not been assighned to anyone, can i ring t-mobile to change my number to my old one?

    If contract has ended, you will not see the old number again.....

    After you lose the number it's unissueable for 6 to 12 months (depending on network). So that anyone it's issued to doesn't get calls/text's ect for the old owner.

    After that it gets returned to the free numbers 'pot'...
