Hi I haven't use Whistle for awhile, I assume my number is re-assigned.
Can I get back to a new number, and pay by use...

   When I attempted to dail, from my iphone Whistle dial tone, I typed the number, it responded after a few mins saying "Call Failed, No Services".. Please advise.

   Henry,

   According to my records, your number is currently (510) 768-7160. Is this the number that's showing up on your Whistle screen?

   Henry,

   Can you post a screenshot of exactly what you're seeing, please? Thanks.

   In the meantime, here's a simple test you can try. Log into your account through the whistlephone.com website; that will update your cached information and correct any mistakes in the cache file. Can you give that a try and let me know if anything changes?

    Cameron
    Inactivity period is when you do not use your whistle account for while, you will receive an email asking you to make a call it if you do you retain the number on your account if you don't we will reclaim the number back into our pool.

    I hope this helps.

    Dawn
