Phone Number General Enquiry

[JakeAnthony]

Hello. Could you please confirm whether you've used or recycled this number? Because I have been receiving calls and messages both on iMessage and SnapChat, or even Amazon, and they were all addressed the same as "Celine." It has been creeping me out! Can someone assist me on this, please? Thank you!

@Chalupa_Batman   like Fongo and TextNow to find a local number you like and then port it over to Public Mobile. It doesn't cost a single penny to do so. Hope this helps.

With Fongo you can port out for free after 90 days but shorter than that and there's a $25 fee.

Thanks for the 411 @Phil_Adelphus I was unaware of the fee. Must be new or maybe cause I had it for several years and didn't notice. Good to know. Thanks again.

Hello @JakeAnthony 

It seems "Celine" didn't change any of her information before she switched numbers. Or, maybe she passed away and some of her family are trying to get into her info. I'm just guessing of course. If you would like to change your number, you are permitted to change it any time you wish. Just go into your account profile and change it. FYI, I always suggest getting apps like Fongo and TextNow to find a local number you like and then port it over to Public Mobile. It doesn't cost a single penny to do so. Hope this helps.

Many numbers are used before, it looks like your number was used before.

You can change your number and pick another one through the app or the website.

hi @JakeAnthony phone numbers are limited resources and every carrier recycle numbers. It is almost next to impossible to get a brand new never used number 

if you don't like your number, go to My Account, Profile page and get a new number.  You can change as many as 4 times every cycle
