That's very brave of you, I could never change my phone number.
I feel like a phone number becomes part of a personality trait once a person aquires their first number.
Sometimes in my nightmares, my phone number gets changed and I'm stuck for months fixing and changing everything over to the new number 😂
I get it, and I thought long and hard before I went ahead. It wasn't all that hard and I figured if people in my contacts list didn't want to believe the new number was me they could drift away. (None did)
It wasn't really all that hard to be honest; a calculated decision.
