How often do you change your cellphone number?

I hate people who constantly change their phone number. It makes hard for me to contact them whenever I need. But this can't be avoided in Indonesia as there was a stupid phenomenon in here. Buying a starter pack for prepaid number cost around Rp 5000 - Rp 10000. Most of them are included with bonus Rp 10000 - Rp 15000 credit on it. So, instead to refill their credit, they will choose to buy new starter pack (cheaper). Stupid phenomenon isn't it??

I've a lot of contacts in my phone..So it is pretty difficult alert all of them if my number is changed..So I dont use to change my number often..But I use three connections in two mobile phones..One is a dual sim phone..So it is easy to keep up with my friends and relatives...

I dont my cellphone number unless I loose my cell phone and that hasnt happened in the last four years.In fact since the companies now allow us to keep our cell phone numbers once we can prove that we are the owners of the numbers.Before that though I use to change numbers at a rate of once every year

I don't change my cell number, as there is no need to do so. I have had it a long time now, and when I changed providers, I was able to keep my number, which is really good. I like the idea, that you can keep your number when you change providers. To me that is a good way to get customers, as most people don't want to chang numbers just change phones. My kids have my number in their cell phones, so I wouldn't want to change it. Now, my daugher moved, so she had to change hers, as she moved away from me to another state a long ways away, but we do keep in touch almost everyday. That would be the only time I would change my number if I were to move to another state or area code, otherwise, no, I will kee my sam enumber. Take care, and happy mylotting.

I haven't changed my number in years. The only reason I have in the past is because I lost my phone and it was a prepaid one so I was forced to.

I don't really like changing my phone number because I use it as both a personal and business line. I did, however, have to change my phone number this past week, but that was only because I switched service providers and left my previous provider on bad terms because of their insane billing and customer service issues. I have made sure that all my friends and family have my new number and have updated everything for my business, so it will not be affected by this change.

change it ? i cant remember the one i have now.

I change one number in 4 year of experience of phone holding....... which is lost with my cell phone.. 3 year ago... and till now second number i continue and it will be continue.... A number is show you identity .. if you change it... then your contact area is reduced...

hi,magic9,I really don't like to change phone number!Unless I settled down another place I will not change my number,because it is so trouble to tell everyone that i have changed the number!

I change my cellphone number before for almost 5 times when I change my cellphone provider. This day i only have 2 cellphone number using dual sim and I do not like to change anymore as my fiends becomes too confused that they have lost communication with me with constant changing it make them not aware where I am at present. So as long as I live my cellphone number would stay the same things to avoid confusion..

i have ner changed my phone number, i don't want to change it beacause i don't need to, i don't have reason to change phone number, if there are a person who annoyng me with phone calls, messages and other disturbing things i will not change my number i'll go to the police to make sure that this person will be punished by law. I have the same number since the day i buhgt my firs mobile phone.

I think I'm the only person I know who still has the same phone number from the 1st phone I had. I have never changed my phone number, even if I have changed my phone. I don't see the need to change my number, so that's why I haven't done it.

I had never change my phone number and I don't want to do it. Old friends can lost contact with me.

I have the same cell phone number for last 9 years. SO I have never changed it. And I don't thinking of changing it. More over that this, at here in India the ordinance is under process that one will note have to change the cell phone number if he / she change the service provider. So, that will be a great service for those who have to change the number just because they are changing the service provider.

I haven't changed my number up until this year that I got a line from a network so that I won't have a hard time buying load ever so often. But now I need to stick to this since the plan is for 2 years time. And besides it is hard to let everybody know you have a new number so it's best to stick to just one for the longest time.

I seldom change my number. Sometimes I buy new sim card but I make sure to keep my main sim number. The main simcard I am using is with me for about 2 years now.

I do not like to change number, it will be convenient, i change several times, i lost my cell phone and i changed the mumber. Another time i change my cell phone and i use a new number.

I don't see the point of constantly changing my cell phone number. In my entire life I belive I may have had three to four numbers. I've had a cell since I was about 18. I took my father's number, and I had it for almost two years. I had to change carriers so the number changed with it. That number also lasted about two years, closer to a year and a half. I had one person who insisted I needed a "local" number otherwise they wouldn't call me. So I was forced to change it. That lasted until I switched back to my first provider. I had that number up until about a year and a half ago. I changed it for the final time then because I was being stalked. So as you can see its not a regular habit. I'll be keeping this number for quite a long time more. I have too many people who I contact everyday to want to have to change it. Waste of time.

I don't have your "deposit-return" program, but I don't change my phone number either. If I need some new number, I just buy a new phone and a new sim card. It is not convenient to tell everyone that I changed phone number. So, it is good to keep the old number available, just in case people may contact me some day. Anyway, I don't change my phone number. I only add new numbers. Now I have 2 numbers and 2 phones. One is Nokia, the other is Changhong (Chinese brand).

I dont prefer in changing mobile number as if i change my number then there are a lot of friends to whom i have to give. So it is better to keep the number same n from next year we will be able to keep the same number if we change the number by paying some fines.i have been using my number for 4 years n now m looking to go for some other service provider but i will keep my number same.
