I Reviewed My Old Number Service—It’s Trash

[mouakter13]

Looking back, my old phone number service was, honestly, trash. For years, I paid monthly fees that never seemed to match the value I got in return. Dropped calls, spotty reception, spam texts, and endless telemarketers became a normal part of my daily routine. I thought it was just the cost of having a number in today’s world, but it wore me down. The constant interruptions were more than just annoyances—they chipped away at my focus, productivity, and mental peace. Eventually, I realized that the so-called “convenience” of my number was actually a burden I didn’t need to carry anymore.

After canceling my number, the difference was night and special database day. Without the constant buzzing and ringing, I could finally concentrate on my work and personal life without distraction. I switched entirely to internet-based communication methods like email, messaging apps, and video calls, which gave me more control over when and how I engaged with people. The freedom from spam calls and random texts was a relief I didn’t know I needed. I no longer felt pressured to be “always on” or instantly available, and that shift has made a huge impact on my mental well-being and daily productivity.

Of course, dropping my old number service had its challenges—verifications, emergency contacts, and some clients took time to adjust. But the benefits far outweighed the hassles. My old number service was trash, but quitting it wasn’t. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or underwhelmed by your current phone service, consider if it’s really worth the cost and hassle. For me, ditching my number was like cutting a toxic tie, and I haven’t looked back since.
