New phone and sim - the number is being contacted by previous users contacts

[Motiman1]

I purchased a new phone and new sim, with its corresponding number.

I have now been contacted by two (2) medical centres and one company, asking to speak to 2 different people. I initially put it down to a wrong number, but on each occasion, was read back my new number.

How do I ask for another number / sim?

All networks recycle numbers.

You'll have to call Sky on 150.  If you are outside the cooling off period you may find if difficult.

That worked a treat, many thanks!
