My friend keeps changing its cellphone number.

If my friend did that by texting me with more than four different number in a month, i probably will not bother to call him back at all, if he was to question me why i try to ignore him, i will tell him not to send me too many different phone number, his action is confusing to me. Unless he stop buying bargained sim card in the future for his own convenience and not trying to be a cheapstake so often with all these new numbers, he needs to stick to just one or two permanent number for me to call him, he can forget about me calling him back whenever he left me a message. It is too bad if he can't accept that fact of life, then he shouldn't be calling me at all.

It's very common in my country. Why people like to do this? 1. They very active on using phone but they had limited budget. Let me said like this: If I reload my account it gonna cost me $1.5 but if I buy new card, it only cost me less than $0.5. 2. Their primary number had long expiration but with zero account. 3. In many cases, they use it to trick someone In the past I also use same system (I have dual simcard phone) but on ending conversation, I'm always adding: " don't save this number. If you want to call or message me, use my primary number"

I am irritated on this kind of scenario. I have to save all the 15 numbers just able to locate him/her and talk to him/her. I hate this scenario. I encourage them to to stick on the SIM they like to used. Or next time they will be sending message or call to me. I will not reply to them. I will give them ample time to decided which number to stick. I will spend 15 pesos just to reach him, and 20 pesos for the credit to make a miscall. But in bright side If I am register to Unli to All Network I can reach him/her. But I don't know which if this number will reply to me.

hi there, that's the same thing with my ex friend hehehehe i say ex because i don't think she can be my friend anymore, she asks so much from me and i try to help her but i know she is only coming to when she needs something. so i am done with her, i don't want to trust her anymore. so yeah, she changes her number too always. she told me that her mom even told her to stop changing her number because it seems like she is running away from people hahaha i don't know what's up with that. but i myself changed my number a couple of time already because it is either i get it blocked because of the security settings, or that there are people who are up to no good bother me by calling and texting me.

Tell him that. Tell him you having a hard time trying to contact him with his several numbers. Its not like you are always subscribed to unlimited load right? Tell him to assign an official number among his 15 numbers for his friends wherein they could use to contact him easily.

I have also such friends who used to change their telephone number when he sees news offers. Within 2 months he had four new sim card and he uses all the ones within a single cell phone. I had asked him why he is doing so and I had told him about the after affect of the matter but it doesn't care him. I think our government should have new rules and regulations about this issue. I just mean that government must allow to use limited number of sim card for students. Mainly such habits is manly from tha part of the children who is found of sms and gprs offers .

I have never heard of this issue of $1 sim cards let along half a dolar sim cards that would be a issue as everyone would have hard time staying in touch if everyone were to do this lol best bet just buy a new one in a store instead being cheap and buying a 1$ sim card just seems little fishy with price ... i would seriously avoid those as can buy used pre paid phone with or without sim from $20-400 depending on which phone and company you were going through. Best of luckk LoW~!

Get over it, the SIM nowadays are worth very cheap. You can always buy with a lesser amount and be able to change anytime. So if you want to hide from someone, then you can just switch to new number with a little hassle in part. Then, also, this new SIMs have its load or balance on its own that allows you to text and call at the same time. So what more can you ask for. If not for some important persons in my phonebooks, then I would do the same to save. Life today is hard, harder than it may seemed.

I hate it when a person changes his number every now and then. I have a colleague that is like that and I do not text her much because I don't know the current number she is using. Sometimes, if there are important things need to be texted to my colleagues, she doesn't receive it. And whenever she complain, we just answer that it is because we don't know what number is she using.

Wow..that is a lot of numbers to have to keep up with. I bet it is hard for him to keep up with them too...lol.

i have not heard of that here in usa.. but i personaly hate changing my number it is auch a pain even for my home phone.. and it makes you unreachable as well unless your trying to hide from bill collectors lol.. a story that reminded me of one day i had issues with my internet provider and they told me i had to come to there store to fix the problem this was my interent before and i had to drive to the main store and it was about a hour and half drive and everyone i knew was busy so i had to go by myself and so one the way down thre i spent my time looking at directions so i was busy with that and on the way home i was like i need to talk to some one i was getting sleepy driving the trip alone and i was tried from being out all day i had about a 45 minutes left to drive and i did not have any numbers with me.. so i thought of my old childhood friend from 1st grade .. had not talked to her in years she is still living in the same home town i use to.. so i tryed the last number i remembered and to my suprise her mother answered and i said lilly what are you doing at regina's she said im not you called my number and i was shocked one that i had remembered her old number from like 42 years ago and i was amazed that her mother still had the same number as well..so she told me regina still had the same number as well and i actualy remembered it too.. so that taught me too if you keep changing your number people cant reach you, and you never know when someone from your past may have tryed to call you a goood friend or a old boyfriend.. if everyone kept the same number we would not need facebook lol sorry not a fan.. so im gonna try and keep my same numbers from now on and by the way i did get to talk to my friend regina it was fun to hear from her as well..

hi there, that's the same thing with my ex friend hehehehe i say ex because i don't think she can be my friend anymore, she asks so much from me and i try to help her but i know she is only coming to when she needs something. so i am done with her, i don't want to trust her anymore. so yeah, she changes her number too always. she told me that her mom even told her to stop changing her number because it seems like she is running away from people hahaha i don't know what's up with that. but i myself changed my number a couple of time already because it is either i get it blocked because of the security settings, or that there are people who are up to no good bother me by calling and texting me.

hahhaha.. that's really something. Well, actually I am guilty of that too, but not too often as your friend is. I do that basically because I am hiding from someone, or someone that I hate knew my number and I don't want to be disturbed so I change. YEAh! I know it sucks but hey, I know your friend has his own reason too just let him know your concerns so that he can tell you what number you send messages.

Some people just don't want to be found, or perhaps he just really likes the deal of paying such a small amount. At least he is telling you all of his new numbers! Therefore, you know that you are a friend of his that he wants to stay in contact with. Just keep one name for him under your phone and change that number to the new one everytime. No need to keep all 15 of the other numbers that have already expired.

Hello bulastika :) I have a same experience too with my friends.. In Indonesia, you can buy cheap simcards.. Some of my friends are like to buy new simcards and then change again after a while.. Yes they bought the simcards because the simcards almost expired and very cheap.. I hate it when I got messages from them “Hi, this is my new number, please safe it!” then several days later I got the same messages from the same person but different number.. If I must to send them message, sometimes I call their number first to know which number is active at the moment.. But if I’m too lazy, I will send the messages to all their numbers.. *sigh*

Yeah, sim cards are very cheap these days, especially those sun sim cards. That is a bad habit but maybe he is just saving money- but at least he should have a permanent sim card that his friends can easily contact him.. it's not that hard to maintain a sim card.

Yeah I noticed it also especially to teens now.Sim cards are easily get in the market now so they could easily change numbers immediately.It is really hard to contact them sometimes so I better wait for them to call or send message.Sometimes their too many numbers using always messing up in my phonebook lol.
