How long you use existing cell phone number?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097) 2 years ago

I have already using existing cell phone number for about 15 years.I prefer to keep this number so that my old friends or family will easily keep in touch with me. I notice many people really like to change their cell phone number since there always come new mobile provider offering lot of benefit. How about you? How long you use current cell phone number?

I have used mine for the last 10years and this is in fact the first number that I have. It's a prepaid one and it's really amazing how long I have kept it. But still, it's all about luck.

Anyhow. I do have other phones, but have decided to keep this carrier because of good service, and so that other people (the people I really know) wouldn't get lost when I change numbers.

Hi laydee, appreciate your quick response. I also have two cell phone number, I still keep my old number for the same reason as you.
My old cell phone number also used to be prepaid card but I converted into post paid so I don't need to worried about top up the card and deducted directly from my account every month.. have a nice day and happy mylotting

I used my existing number for almost ten years now,the roaming service of my mobile is always activated whenever I will have a job relocation I will always use my number,not only for personal but for business purpose.I'm not fond of changing my phone number since its hard for my client to contact me if I'm going to change it all over again and again.That's one reason I don't change my phone number do easily.And if ever that I have plan doing it then I have to make a formal announcement and notice to update their records on my contact details and I find very complicated.

Happy myLotting!


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi cloud, appreciate your response.. I agree with you, I also using old cell phone number which have roaming activated everywhere in my country so that I can carry over everywhere I go. However I only use it for personal purpose since I have another business number which bill covered by my company. Yeah you are right, my friend also doing it every time they change new cell phone number, they send new number for announcement to us.. have a nice day and happy mylotting

Wow, 15 years is very long. I don't even know that we have cellphones for 15 years already. LOL. I had mine for almost 3 years now. I tend to change my number a lot, cause I changed the network provider a lot of times. Now though, I'm sticking with my current service provider cause I already have a post paid plan now and I'm loving it. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi Ingkingderders, nice to hear from you again and appreciate your response..You are right,I also don't know where is my first cellphones I used 15 years ago.I stick to same number even I change cell phones almost every year.The network provider still exist and they offer many benefit for loyal customer as well. I change my business phone number more often since I also tend to mobilize from one to another company. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ingkingderders (2660)   ranked 772 out of 6,663 in cell phone  2 years ago

Having one number all those years is really helpful, I mean your family and friends would remember your number easily since it has been there for 15 years already, and that is really important specially in times of emergency. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

HI Ingkingderders, you are right,if we have only one number our family will be easily contact us everywhere,especially in emergency case were happened. Although most of family member already have facebook account nowadays, we frequently contact through this channel. I've heard my cousin had delivered baby from her status in facebook, then I call her through her old cell phone number..have a nice day


myLot reputation of 98/100. Ingkingderders (2660)   ranked 772 out of 6,663 in cell phone  2 years ago

facebook has really made the world a little smaller, cause it's really easier to contact friends and family and you can really be updated real time. happy

15 years is a very long time. that would bring me back to just about the time when cell phones started getting popular in the Philippines. My 1st cell phone was under my employers name which I could not bring with me when I left. The next time I had a cell phone was when I got one for myself which was 10 years ago. And since then I am holding on to it for the reason that I do not see why we have to keep changing our number. My friends , family and relatives and business associates have this number when they need to get in touch with me. To change numbers would mean I have to inform all of them again if I want them to be able to contact me in the future. That is a big hassle for me. So I choose to maintain my number. I have change mobile phone units several times already. But I have kept the same SIM-phone number still.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi blueshield, appreciate for responding and welcome to mylot community. You have good point, I prefer to keep my cell phone number for the same reason as you.I also don't like the hassle to change number and have to announce to my relatives every time I do changing.However I have change mobile phone a lot, I think almost every year but not the cell phone number. Even I lost my phone number, I still insist to have same number when got new SIM card from my network provider.. have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I have bought a new cell phone with this number before two years and I have been keeping it for this period and have no idea to change it in future until there is no problem for that number.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi Vijiboopathy, many thanks for your comment.. You have good point, we don't bother to change our number if there is no big problem for that number. My friend changes his number since there a lot of technical problem, other friend change number due to he didn't want his ex girl friend know his cell phone number anymore.There quite few number of reason for that one.. have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I've used my existing phone number for over six years. I have only had to change it once since I've had a phone. Someone kept on herrassing me on my old line so I changed the number. I've got nothing against that. I had to pay a one-time fee of 15 bucks, but if it stopped me from being herassed....


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi kaylachan, appreciate your comments, six years is quite long time.You are right, sometimes people change their number for the same reason.I have experienced my business number being harassed by strangers from credit card company,everytime they call me because they thought I was the other person who use the number before in the company. I always tried to explain but they keep calling me..
have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I've been using my current mobile phone number for like 5 months. Before that, I've been using my previous number for like 3 or 4 years, but then I decided to buy a new cellphone and there was a mobile company that was offering great phones for low prices, so I changed my mobile operator and also bought a new cell phone from that mobile communication provider.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

HI Biomechanoid, appreciate your response..You are right, sometimes people change their number due to great offer from mobile provider. My friend also always keep changing because there's mobile phone offer,he trade-in his old cell phone with new one but he has to change with new number and have to bounded about two years, it's called 2 years promotion plan. It's really interesting since the price cut by half from original. have a nice day and happy mylotting

Im the same way as yourself and hate changing numbers. Ive had the same number for 4 years now and since its my first phone and first number. Im planning on getting a new cellphone soon since mine is break apart. I plan on keeping the same number for it though. I hate trying to remember a new number after having one for awhile.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dwightsunee (1097)  2 years ago

Hi Ricky, appreciate your response.. You have good point, we always have good reason to keep our existing number. Not only for other people to keep in touch with us easily but also we able to remember the same number rather than changing new number and have to memorize every time.Four years is quite long, I guess many people already have your number in their phone book then..have a nice day and happy mylotting.
