Hi,
I'm receiving spam from 0273245370 - who should I speak to regarding this given it is an 027 number?

"When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called 'the People's Stick'"
mckenndk: The best way to make sure you are not getting a re-used number would be to get a new Skinny or maybe 2Degrees number and then port it to the network you want to use.

It was a new SIM card from 2 Degrees Mobile - I guess I'll have to change the number once again.

mckenndk: @johnr
Are the prefix's (021,027,022 etc)still tied to the specific carrier when you buy a new sim or can a carrier sim possibly come staying with any prefix now days

Now that person has my number I'm worried she could be an scumbag with it. Sigh.

My number is a blatantly simple one (@johnr knows) and because of this I get so much spam. However, I also bait the spammers. Not a real excuse to change your number as this is more annoying again. Instead with me I just ignore spammy messages or use Android's block function if they come through more than once (after phoning them pretending to be "interested" in whatever they're trying to sell / scam me with).
