Someone else number?

Hey, so I have been with sky for a few months now and since the day I activated the number sky provided me with I have been getting calls and texts off people asking for someone called Alfie, this is a daily thing now and I was wondering if anybody else has been having this problem with it being somebody else's old number?

Hi @Baz1991 yes this does come up quite often. As numbers are recycled then this can happen.

This can and does happen @Baz1991 and this is because all mobile numbers on all networks are recycled so this one you have might have been with someone else previously. If these calls are coming from the same number each time then try blocking them via your phone's settings.
