change of phone number


Question Posted Friday June 23 2006, 10:00 pm

For a cell phone, does it cost money if you want to keep your provider but change your number for privacy reasons? If so, how much?

Or does this depend on the service itself. Thanks, any info is appreciated.

The charge depends on your service provider but it shouldn't be to high.

For some phone companies it might depend and the cost would probably be very minimal but if it is for privcacy purposes, I'm sure that if you talk to the phone company they would be glad to change the phone number free of charge :)

It would probably cost very little or none at all.

My parents had to change my brother's number because he signed up for stuff over the internet and recieved text messages from these people like everyday and was being charged and was unable to stop them. It was a huge mess. I'm pretty sure they weren't charged to change the number. It could have just been our provider (cingular) but most likely (especially for privacy reasons) you won't be charged. If so, it will be inexpensive.

I would say its either free of very very cheap. If its the first time they prob would let you do it for free but if you do it regularly they may charge you


it really depends on your service though. if you have a pre-paid phone you most likely will have to pay to change your number but if its a big brand like t-mobile or verizon they shouldn't charge you
