Credit to member - shxhshzhz for mentioning this plan here as I wasn't aware of it, so thought it was worth sharing.
You can also get the 365 days by letting a current prepaid plan expire, i.e., you use a pre-paid monthly before going overseas for several month and do not recharge/renew the monthly plan. Your number is still active and kept for 365 days, so you can receive texts still for 2FA or hear from others.
