Who Else Ditched Their Phone Number Lately?

I recently made the decision to ditch my traditional phone number, and I’m curious—who else here has taken the plunge? It’s a step that felt both liberating and a bit intimidating at first. For years, my phone number was my primary way of staying connected, but the constant barrage of spam calls, expensive monthly plans, and privacy concerns pushed me to rethink its necessity. Switching to internet-based communication apps has reshaped how I stay in touch and freed me from many of the frustrations tied to traditional phone service.

Since cancelling my phone number, I’ve relied almost entirely on apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram to handle calls, texts, and video chats. The transition wasn’t without challenges—informing friends and family, updating accounts, and adjusting to a new way of communicating took some effort. However, the benefits have been worth it: no more unwanted calls, reduced monthly expenses, and greater control over my digital footprint. I’d love to hear from others who have made similar changes—what app s special database did you use, how did you handle the transition, and what surprised you most about living number-free?

For those still considering it, know that ditching your phone number is a bold but increasingly common move. It’s about more than saving money—it’s a chance to reclaim privacy, reduce distractions, and simplify your communication. So, who else has said goodbye to their phone number lately?
