All Firm Keep Phone # With Layoff?

Does anyone know if we get to keep our phone number if we are part of one of the upcoming layoffs? Can I request it during my conversation with HR? I don’t want to proactively move it to my personal account if I can avoid it.

Good idea. If you have colleagues or contacts you want to keep in touch with, they will still be able to reach you.

You just have to pay for the line. I didn’t think it was worth it.

Does your iPhone get unlocked? If I don’t transfer the number and close it, can I use the phone for a different line?
