How do you stop people from texting and ringing you without changing your phone number ?

It all started last night when i was sat in bed and my phone got a text about quarter past 1. I looked and it said %26quot;night%26quot;. i got abit worried and went downstairs to show my mum. she said text them back to see who it was. they text back the name of my best friend so i text back oh (such and such) you had me scared then Lil and they text back ha ha its not really and it was a girl from my old school who i hated ( but she never knew i hated her) so i shut off my phone and stuff and took out my sim card because i Had had enough and went to sleep. The next morning i decided to put it back in. I had another text from them saying %26quot;hello%26quot; so i text back (angry) I am not such and such so piss off !! and they said something back like who is this so i made up an imaginary person Called paige and text that back and then they said ooh sorry my lil sister had my phone.

Changing your cell phone number?

You can call customer care at 1-800-331-0500 and just ask|||there is typically a fee for changing your number. call into your customer care to get that changed for you! and also be careful because a number change will prorate your minutes... meaning from the day you changed it, to your bill cycle date you will be allotted less minutes than you would normally. so becareful, i have customers who go over their minutes because of the changr :( so if you change your number you will see the cell phone number change fee on your next bill. but you can slways change your number - just be aware of what happens when you do.

However, if you call up T-Mobile%26#039;s customer service and explain to them that you%26#039;re being harassed and need to change your number, I can just about guarantee you can convince them to do it free of charge.





As you get prank texts, this will be even easier to believe, as all they have to do is review text messages that have been sent to and from your number and can pick up on the harassment right away.





Tip: when changing your number, make sure you write down the names of all the people you need to inform of the change. This includes family and friends, employers, creditors, your bank, the IRS, the DMV, your utility companies, and anything else of that nature. Also ensure that any documents you might have that contain your number (i.e. business cards, cheques (phone numbers are typically printed in the upper-left hand corner, personalized notepads, etc.) are updated to reflect this change.





I hope this helps you out!

I just got a new phone and number recently with Verizon Wireless and I%26#039;ve been receiving calls from a private number for weeks from the same person, who has a very thick accent and doesn%26#039;t seem to understand he has the wrong number and I can never understand who/where he%26#039;s trying to call.

How does the Phone company change your Phone number?

When you tell the Phone company that you want to change your Land-line Phone number, do they do it from their office, or do they have to switch the wires around on the utility pole?|||It is all done electronically within the phone switch, and quickly (can be done within a minute after you hang up with the customer service person).





In all but the very smallest phone companies, this is going to be handled by an automated system that gets the number change order from the order system computer, connects to the telephone switch and sends the proper set of commands to tell the switch to change the number that is associated with a specific line (yours).





At the same time, the software will set up the switch to divert any calls that come in to the old number to an %26quot;intercept%26quot;, which is the announcement that says the number is no longer in service, or if you specify you want something else, the announcement service can tell the caller what the new number is.|||It%26#039;s electronic and done from the recent change machine.


It takes longer to write the service order :-)
