Same here for the same reasons - I think it looks really tulip when you end up with outdated numbers out there. And it's zero effort to port a number.

Be prepared to see an additional charge on your next bill for receiving paper bills.

It's a small price to pay compared to the hassle.

And woosh they've accepted my contact form request to go back to paper communications even though I hadn't logged in.

Glad to opt out of that service quite frankly.

When you lose or forget one of them. I would have had the same problem if I'd been working away from home and hadn't bothered to take the old phone.

I know this is General, but do keep up

Keep up. He bought a new phone; didn't transfer the number because it was important to have two numbers. But then he lost the old phone and didn't bother to replace it.

Perfectly simple. Could happen to anyone.
