Yup. They are using old numbers that's inactive for a certain number of years. My Globe postpaid in 2001, 09177****** was active again two years ago. I was able to choose the last six digits then.

My sister was able to get her old Globe number when she re-applied after 2 years of switching to Smart. Hers was also personalized number (last 5 digits), her birthday (m/dd/yr)
