Do you like changing your phone number?

"If a person's mobile phone number remains unchanged for more than 8 years, it can be judged that this person is trustworthy. If a person does not change his mobile phone number for more than 5 years, he is also quite trustworthy and worth making friends with!" Recently, such a joke has been circulated on the Internet. So, do you like to change your mobile phone number? Let's see what others say.

Affirmative Party: It is difficult to port your mobile phone number to another network, so you have to change it

There are many reasons for changing numbers, such as owing a lot of money to others, being afraid of being found by an old lover, going to school in another city and returning home after graduation, etc. The most common reason is that it is difficult to transfer numbers to other networks. Netizen "Xianghu" said that in China, you cannot transfer numbers to other cities with your number, otherwise you will have to pay a lot of roaming fees. Netizen "herr-gao" agreed, saying that he also "involuntarily changed his number" under such circumstances.

The so-called "number portability" means that you can switch from one mobile telecom operator to another without changing your mobile phone number. However, it is obviously difficult for users to freely port their numbers in my country. In previous pilot cities, operators set high thresholds for users to switch networks, such as requiring a contract phone and the contract must expire, and once you switch networks, you will not be able to enjoy various package discounts.

Opposition: Too many things to bind, too much hassle to change numbers

With the popularity of smart phones, mobile phone numbers are no longer just a number for making calls, but have become more of an identification tool. "It's not that I don't want to change my number, but it's really troublesome to bind my online banking and Weibo to the same number", "If it weren't bound to a lot of accounts and cards, I would have changed it long ago. People I haven't seen for 800 years all have my number." From the comments of netizens, it is not difficult to see that the reason for not changing the number is that the mobile phone number is bound to multiple social media, bank account numbers, online banking card numbers and other information at the same time, which is more private.

At the same time, with the popularization of mobile payments, mobile phone numbers can even be used as bank cards. In addition, mobile phone numbers can be bound to various accounts for security authentication. The side effects of changing mobile phone numbers are becoming more and more numerous and troublesome.

If you have to change your mobile phone number, here is a warning to netizens: first, you must cancel all bindings and fee deductions between the old number and bank cards. Secondly, cancel the binding with QQ, WeChat, Taobao, Weibo, email, game and other accounts. Finally, use mobile phone assistant software to back up contacts and text messages. If you have completed all the above procedures, you can go to the operator's business hall to go through the cancellation procedures.

Cool reviews from netizens

@马到成功_45448: I have used my mobile phone number for 10 years and have not changed it yet. A mobile phone is a person’s business card of integrity.

@1370东城浪子: I’ve had this number for twenty years. Sometimes I feel there’s no need to change it because it’s just hard to find old friends.

@曾远707: Please, students have to go to different cities to study, how many years can this mobile phone number last?

@二两块米饭多少钱: If it wasn’t bound to a bunch of various accounts and cards, I would have changed it long ago. People I haven’t seen for eight hundred years all have my number. It drives me crazy.

@雷家二小姐脸不大小: I just changed my mobile phone number and found that I only had 20 mobile phone numbers saved, and several of them were just simple work relationships. Besides my family, I only have 2 or 3 people I really contact. As I don't owe anyone any favors and don't have any old friends I must contact, I don't think it matters every time I change my mobile phone number. As long as the WeChat and QQ numbers remain the same, I am still very trustworthy.

@敢相信我的情不自禁_: It’s been six years, but I’m just too lazy to tell others my new number. It’s too much trouble.

@myooo泥嗷: It’s not that I don’t want to change, but my online banking and Weibo are all bound to the same number, which is really troublesome…

@自由的歌手: I don’t know if I’m trustworthy or not, but I just feel reluctant to change my number. The number accompanies me, and I want it to accompany me too.
