Changed phone numbere

[Selba]

Hi

Just changed my phone number.  Will anyone calling my old number get my new number?  If yes, is there anyway to stop that?

Thanks.

No.  Anyone calls your old number will get a message saying that your old number no longer working.

Or some stranger will answer.

After changing your phone number you must provide the new one to the people who wish to you have it. Cell phone carriers do not forward calls from the old number to new for you, such as the way that the post office can do for mail. Once a phone number is changed, the old one is deactivated.

They will get a message saying the old number is no longer in service.

@Selba  no, when you change your number and someone calls your old number they only get a not in service recording!
