Giving mobile number to a stranger:..is it right???

I only give my number out to people that I have been talking to a while, whom I already consider friends. It's not something that I want every single person on the entire internet having, and I'm not really interested in talking to just anyone on the phone anyway. However, since I'm married and have a child, my priorities online are often different from those types of people who are always asking for numbers anyway. I'm not looking for anything romantic from anyone I talk to online, and oftne the people looking for love or lust are the ones who ask. However, I have several times given out my number to close online friends, for various reasons. Either because we were both going to be offline and wanted to stay in contact, or because one or the other of us was having a rough time in life and needed someone to talk to, or because we'd just been friends long enough that it felt right. I'm glad that I do this, because sometimes my online friends have been there for me when I really needed someone.

I'm a guy, and I don't give my number to strange women. You should not trust a stranger with any of your personal information under any circumstance.

It is very bad to give your mobile nuber to stranger. He might misused it for unwanted thing. Be careful and aware about the things happenning in the society.

Yes,I consider it unsafe to give my mobile number to a stranger.They may call you and disturb your normal life.There are those people who are evil-intentioned online. I haven't met such situation,for I don't like chatting and making friends online.It's diffucult to distinguish he/she tells the truth or not.

I would never give such information to a total stranger. In fact, I wouldn't give any information to a total stranger. Chatting with a stranger is one thing, exchanging any further information beyond that is a bad idea.

yes, i totally agree with your discussion my friend..it's not really right to give your mobile phone number because what if the person has bad intention to you..Me, too, don't want giving my number to anyone else except to my closed friends, relatives and family..i had that kind of experience also, what i've done is that i gave him my old mobile number but it's already not existing and after that i erased him to my yahoo messenger list..

I only give my number out to people who I know won't be calling me all the time and using up all my minutes. In fact, I don't like even giving my landline number to people I've just met. I really don't like to be bothered on the phone and don't like people I really don't know calling me all the time. Most of the people who know either number don't call me all that much and that's the way I like it.

i wouldnt give my number to a stranger either, i have given to people over the net before, but its been a long time of talking to them and getting to know them very well before giving them my number.

People on the internet can be anybody. I can be a guy a girl, white, black, anything and no one would know the difference. That is one of the great things about the internet and chat rooms (ananimity). With that being said, unless you completely trust the person, and even then I would be suspicious, I would not give any personal information (your house #, phone number, etc...) to anyone.

I personally would never, there are too many weird and strange people out there. If it gets into the wrong hands, you could be expecting constant unwanted calls and messages all day, and who knows what else they could be doing with your number. If its someone you have met, only do if after you have chat or seen them at least a few times and not just the once. You have to be careful these days with personal details.

not a good idea. but if your too friendly, why not ;D

i never give my number to strangers.when they ask for my number,i'll ask for theirs and i'll tell them i'll call them instead.but of course i never do.

Well indiavani on my part when they ask for my mobile number i just tell them i don't have any mobile (cellular phone)not even a landline, its not that i don't trust the person its just making it for sure first that the person is worth keeping in touch with :)

No, I would never give my number out. I mean, it could be anybody at the other end! And talking to strange people makes me nervous and embarrassed. Anyway, people who want your number after the first time you've chatted are either weirdos, sad geeks with no lives or possible stalkers. :)

hi vani never share your mobile number or any personal info with strangers on net becoz u can't trust them.

Me too. But sometimes the excitement of actually knowing somebody new made me reckless some of the time. After doing it only I feel a little stupid. But what the heck, there are a lot of good people in this world. I just hope I've given my number to good people only!

Hey there Indiavani, I know what its like. Here in India I have noticed that this mobile thng has become abig mess for everyone. People have nothing to do, they give you those unwanted missed calls at odd hours. Even from there landlines. Its really a big mess, even bigger for girls. Once a number of a girl is leaked its spread like fire in dry leaves. All the street romeos just start calling up like its a PCO. Its awefull to recieve calls at night when you are dining with family, specially when they are of such persons. I myself being a boy, I know that not mych can be done with my mobile number, even if it gets distributed. I know I won't get girls flirting with me at middle of the night. No its not like I want them to, but then, why should I giveit to any stranger at all. Most of all to a person whom I haven't ever seen, just met in caht room for a small chat. Come on, I aint that desprate, nor do I fall short of friends to call up or recieve calls from. Any ways in my view giving any personal information at places like chat rooms or such things is totaly absurd and insecure. So Take Care May GOD Bless YOU By The Way What's Your Number!! L....O....L :P Jst Kidding

Hi there. I never give out my mobile number to any stranger, especially if I had met them online... I dont do this for my own security and safety, nor do I encourage others... Not a good idea in my mind anyway...

Personally i don't give-out my mobile number to strangers for the very reason that i'm not fun of entertaining strangers. I intend to provide a number or line for me so that i could make my business and personal errands easier and accesible for me, and me alone. And if i'll give it out to strangers, it'll be the other way around. And i do not want to be bothered with possible undesirable messages and calls.

well!! if i were in your situation its oki for me theres no big deal..
