Number

[70Chez]

Hi everyone, I have left a very, very long and unpleasant relationship and at present my children who are adults are not speaking with me.
I am receiving unwelcome texts from his family and rather than block them can I suspend my number and be given another or do I have to change this number for good.

I would like to keep it in case my children wish to make contact in the future and would like any changes to not have to much impact financially.
I know I can block them but my understanding is that they won’t know they have been blocked so this may annoy them and they may try other things to find out where I am living. Any advice on this would be appreciated as it’s so difficult to get through to anyone.

A change of number is permanent.

Depending on the position of your contract, you could transfer your current number to PAYG and keep it turned off for a while, then take a new contract with a new number.

You can always then transfer your number back to the new contract at a later date.

Thank you so much that’s very helpful and would allow me to keep that number.
