I'll do that on Monday but I was hoping there was a work around.
*sigh* I wish that mobile phone companies would realise this before recycling phone numbers.

johnr: How is a mobile carrier meant to know the number is registered to the ' Realme ' service, Last time I checked I did not have access to the Realme database
johnr: @jamesrt This is just one db of god knows how many a mobile number could be registered against
johnr: but I can't see it happening
johnr: @jamesrt I agree it's a great idea but what I don't understand is why @kawaii did not call the Realme support team first,

jamesrt: In my opinion, the "just one db of god knows how many" is an excellent driver for the production/implementation of a robust industry-standard B2B interface which could be used for any interested parties to exchange that kind of information.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding on the part of RealMe (and anyone else that does the same thing); phone numbers are not unique to a single person.
Back in the landline days it was obvious: A single number could reach a handful of people. While that's much less common with mobile, it's still possible for multiple people to share a phone. A system should not depend on a phone number only ever being used by one person; it is simply not true and is poor design.
NB: I have no experience with RealMe.
