Refilling and monthly plans

I am on the $45 plan, I just put $100 to refill, after this month I will not use the phone (will be out of country) for ten months.

 

Will the $100 refill guarantee that I don't loose the phone # for one year?
When I return to the US in ten months will I need to pay $45 before I can use the phone?
Will I have to pay $45 for each of the months I didn't use the phone?

Thank you

As long as you stay on the $45 plan, your plan will refill as long as there is enough money to fill. Yes, the $100 will hold your account open for a year but $90 of that $100 will be gone. You need to switch to either the $2/day or $0.25/minute plan before your $45 plan renews. As long as you don't use your phone after that, the entire $100 will still be there to use when you come back. At that time just switch back to the $45 plan.
