What does "suspend" mean?

I see people say I want to suspend my line (bill) here often?

I'm looking for info on regular plans (not GoPhone).

 

What does that mean?

  • A reduced charge while I don't use my line for a few months?
  • No charge while I don't use my line?
  • Is it per line? for the whole plan?
  • How long can they do it for?
  • Is it just a hold so they don't lose their number?

 

Thank you!

Here we go!

  • A misplaced or stolen device can be an unsettling experience. With a few simple steps, you can suspend service and protect your account from unauthorized use.
  • Suspension disables all services except 911 and 611 calls. Note that monthly charges still apply while your service is suspended.

@Gary L

I believe it is a reduced charge as when you suspend a phone you can't use it.

I keep finding it for go phone when I'm searching around, I'm finding it for military but not people with regular plans, I'm fining for people who didn't pay their bills (or it's pretty stale info mentioning non-current plans).

 

And anything I see doesn't appear to have any pricing.

 

So I posted here, hoping for a response from someone who knows...
