When you pick up your sim and activate it, you will pick a plan and pay for that.  If you are only staying for a short period, do not pick the auto pay / renewal of the plan, that way the plan will expire at the end of the 30 days.  That number will remain available for your renewal for 60 days.  If you do not want to keep the number, you do nothing as long as you are not on auto pay.  If you want to keep your number, when you leave, you can change your plan over to a pay as you go plan, either the 25 cent per minute or $2 per day plan.  At that point you need to add $100 to your account all at one time and that will keep the account active for a year.  If you happen to return within the year, you can then switch over and select a plan and remember to switch back out when you leave.
