A few years back I thought about changing mine as I was getting some spam calls, but blocking the repeat offenders and just changing my phone setting to "only receive calls from contacts" has taken care of it. Had I switched numbers I'd end up doing the same thing as well.

My marriage pre-dates cell phones by quite a few years.

my number was my wifes old number, she gave me her cell phone when she upgraded and I needed one, back in 2002 or 3


never changed it despite changing companies and now professions,


my brother and I have had phones about the same lenght of time and he recently changed his,

we both use or phones as personal and business, (I did do as Sigmonkey says, and purges old business contacts etc from my contacts)

we switched to a business plan that gave us 4 lines, so he uses his phone as a store phone (we have a retail location)_ since it is on teh business cards, and now uses the new phone as he new personal phone,

had the usuall moaning from a few that had to change contact info, but otherwise no big deal,

quote:

The last time I changed a number, I had to deal with someone else's BS annoying acquaintances calling, leaving messages as I blocked every number that I did not have a contact for, or did not present known caller ID.

This is best reason not to change. I’ve experienced twice. I’ll be taking this MS number with me to AL, and have a Google Voice number with local area code ported to it to use when there permanently.
