Robocalls Were Too Much—Number Cancelled

[mouakter13]

Robocalls have become an unbearable nuisance in recent years. It seemed like every day, my phone would ring with automated messages trying to sell me something or scam me out of my money. Blocking numbers and using call-filtering apps helped, but the flood of robocalls never really stopped. The constant interruptions and anxiety over missing important calls finally pushed me to take a drastic step—I cancelled my phone number entirely. This was a tough choice, but it quickly turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my peace of mind.

Since cancelling my number, I’ve switched completely to internet-based communication apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram. These platforms allow me to message and call friends and family using Wi-Fi or mobile data, so there’s no need for a traditional phone number or carrier plan. The relief from robocalls has been incredible. Not only do I no longer get spammed by unknown callers, but I also save money by cutting out my monthly phone bill. Transitioning wasn’t without its challenges—I had to special database inform contacts and update various online accounts—but the freedom from robocalls made it all worthwhile.

If robocalls are driving you crazy, cancelling your phone number might be the radical solution you need. It’s not an easy decision and requires some adjustment, but the benefits—in terms of privacy, savings, and peace of mind—can be life-changing. With the rise of encrypted messaging apps and Wi-Fi calling, there are more options than ever to stay connected without a traditional phone number. For me, cancelling my number wasn’t just about avoiding robocalls; it was about taking back control over my time and communication.
