I don't know what to react. I have a friend that I don't heard from for many months now. And suddenly he just text me to say that this is my new number then his name and say please save my number. I did not bother to reply. He don't even say hello or high for many months and he just text me that he chance number. He don't even bother to text me to say hi or hello or what ever. Beside if I don't reply how will he know that my number is even alive? So in short he don't care if I receive his text or not. right?

You don't need to feel bad about your friend not making any contact with you in the past months and suddenly showing up with a text message of his new number. It just shows that you're still on his list of friends and he still wants to inform you that if you wish to get in touch with him, this is his updated contact information. Why be touchy about it? You can just save his new number on your phone and need not send back a reply message. At least if in the future you want to get in touch with him again, you can do so right?

That's true. But since is a group text how will I know that he don't just notice that I'm included in the list? Its because I don't hear from him for many months now and I tried to contact him before but he does not reply at all. So I just think of stop texting him also. I'm sure its a waste of time to text a person who does not reply.

Just be happy that you are still present in his friend list. Because now a days no one bothers to keep increasing their phone number list. And one more thing you should be happy that whether its a group msg, but he still bothers to keep you in the group!! So just cheers!!

That's why its called group message. Its really does not necessary mean its for you. It just happen that I'm in the list that's why I receive that message. But I guess if he going to say hi or hello I will going to reply. Beside I text him several months before and he does not reply so what on me to confirm that I receive his text also? Beside I don't even know if he knows that he send me or I'm included in the group message.

Just save his number. Maybe he is just busy and also waiting for you to reply.How about you, did you try sending him any message? Some people are like that, they don't send message but they are waiting for their friends to text them first.

I send message before. I'm type of person if I send message three times and theirs no reply I don't text anymore. Why bother right? Before I regularly text my friends but those who don't reply I don't bother to text again. Especially when I tried to text time three times. that's my rules. and beside I know his text is just send to all messages and not really meant for me.

Well, don't be too sensitive. Maybe he's sending cellphone number changes as well as to many people, for the sake of efficiency. Try it you start to say hello. No one is it?

I guess I just let it be. I don't want to text him at all. Why will I say hello if he don't bother to text me hello. And I'm sure his message is just text to all type of message so in short its really not meant for me at all. Beside I send him message before and he does not reply that's why I don't text him anymore.

Hello, probably this message is automatically sent to all numbers in his cell phone. Some telephones has this option. You are free to answer or not, it's your choice. If you don't feel like answer, don't do it then. I have bunch of friends who were very good friends at the past. Now we see each other very rare, but we had great times together, so I believe the friendship is alive. Now I haven't seen one of my co-workers since at least 2 years. Last summer when she got back to our country, I was in another city. Now she wrote me at skype and told me that this month she is coming back so she wants all of our team to meet again. I will do my best to get back to my home town and meet them all. We were so so close to each other. I miss having so good friends. Friendship is alive, doesn't matter if you see each other every day.

I guess I will just not going to answer. I text him several months before many times and theirs no answer from him and now he send me message that he has a new number. I guess and I'm sure its just send to all message and I think the only reason why I receive this message is that I'm in his phonebook. Nothing more.

No dear bulastika,if your friend send this message to you means his still know you and still take you as his friend,I think just without disconnect about several months is very common cause everyone in this society is quite busy,I have some friends disconnect for a few years but for some reasons we still will contact each other and will feel awkward,can build up a friendship is not easy so I think you should not just let it go,so ,just to reply.

I guess. But after several months he don't even bother to say hi? I don't think so. I'm sure what happen is that I'm just in his phone list and the message is send to all. Anyway I really don't think that message is meant for me. I send him text many times before and he does not reply so I don' think him anymore and suddenly he text? Lols.

Me I don't save his number. Why bother. If its send to all then its means he don't really want to send that message to me. Its just happen that my number is in his phonebook and since its send to all that means I accidentally been furnish with his new number also.

I don't know your relationship with that friend well enough... Perhaps he is just going through his phone list and letting everyone know of his new number. I suppose there really is not much to it from his end, either...

Hi friend, i wonder why this friend sent you a message after a long time, may be he is interested in keeping touch with you here after, so only he mentioned to save his new number. Just save his number, it will be useful to you to identify the person, if he contact you once again.

I guess I will just going to try to save his number but in term of keep in touch I don't think it keep in touch. Its a send to all message. Meaning the only reason why I receive that message is that I'm in his phone book list. I doubt that he even know that I'm in his phone book right now. If he knows I'm sure he did not bother to send it to me.
