I Reviewed My Old Number Service—It’s Trash

After finally cutting ties with my old phone number, I decided to reflect on the service I had relied on for years—and honestly, it doesn’t deserve a polite review. Looking back with fresh eyes, it’s clear just how bad the experience really was. The dropped calls, random outages, slow support, and constant spam made it more of a nuisance than a convenience. I used to brush off these problems as normal, assuming that all providers had similar issues, but the truth is, I was stuck in a cycle of low standards and high costs. Cancelling the number gave me the distance I needed to recognize just how much of my time, money, and peace of mind was wasted.

What bothered me the most wasn’t just the poor technical quality—it special database was how the service felt increasingly intrusive. I couldn’t go a day without dealing with robocalls or meaningless texts, and the pressure to always be reachable was exhausting. Customer support rarely helped when issues came up, and I constantly felt like I was paying for the privilege of being annoyed. I wasn’t even using my number that often anymore; most of my meaningful conversations and work already happened through apps and email. But the number was always there, buzzing away, a relic of how communication used to be. It wasn’t until I let it go that I realized just how little value it actually brought to my life.

Since dropping the number, I’ve been using a combination of email, encrypted messaging apps, and scheduled video calls to stay connected. The quality of my communication has actually improved—I’m more present, more focused, and far less irritated. I don’t miss the constant disruptions, the ridiculous monthly fees, or the feeling of being on-call 24/7. If I had to rate my old number service now, I’d give it a hard 1 out of 5. It was trash then, and it feels even worse in hindsight. If you’re still clinging to your number out of habit or fear, maybe it’s time to do what I did: ditch the dead weight and take control of how you communicate.
