What happened to your Spot Mobile number
Spot Mobile ran on the T-Mobile network. The company is no longer in business. Any number that was not transferred out before it closed was released and cannot be recovered. If you did port out in time, the number belongs to whichever carrier you moved it to.
Your right to keep the number is federal, not a carrier policy. The rule is the FCC’s: Portability: Keeping Your Phone Number When Changing Service Providers.

Questions about Spot Mobile
Is Spot Mobile still in service?
No. Spot Mobile no longer operates as a carrier.
Can I still get an account number and transfer PIN from Spot Mobile?
No. There is no Spot Mobile support line to call. If the number still works, it belongs to whichever carrier took the account over, and you request the transfer details from them.
What happened to Spot Mobile phone numbers?
A number that was still active when the account transferred stayed with the new carrier. A number on a cancelled account was released back into the pool and cannot be recovered.
Can I get a Spot Mobile number reassigned to me?
No. Once a number is released it goes back into the general pool and is reassigned at random. There is no way to request a specific retired number.
Is the Spot Mobile name still worth searching for?
Only to confirm the brand is gone. Current account numbers, PINs and port-out steps live with the carrier that now holds the line.
Can I still use a Spot Mobile SIM card?
No. The SIM authenticates against a network that no longer provisions Spot Mobile accounts, so it will not activate on any line.
My Spot Mobile number was disconnected. Can I get it back?
Almost certainly not. Carriers hold a disconnected number in aging for a period, then release it for reassignment. Once it is reassigned there is no way to reclaim it.
How do I check whether my old Spot Mobile number is still live?
Call it from another phone. A recording saying the number is not in service means it was released. A ring means the line moved to another carrier and still belongs to that account.
