There was a time when people used to change mobile numbers like clothes. Even today, many people are constantly fond of changing mobile numbers. However, there are some people who have been using the same mobile number for many years. Have you ever thought that a just number can say something about your personality?
A short video clip, which is becoming increasingly viral on social media, has raised this question in a very interesting way. This 31 -second video has forced millions of people to think that can we really be recognized from our mobile number?
5 years a number = 5 facts!
The video is shot from inside a car, which shows road and traffic. There is a voice over in the background:
“Let me tell you a funny thing … If you have been using the same mobile number for the last 5 years, then these things will definitely apply to you:”
- There is no court-court or police case against you.
- You are Sharif and honest to your partner.
- You have no borrowings or debt.
- You are not a fanfare and your image in the society is clean.
- You are a responsible and reliable person.
Users’ memories are fresh
This video was posted on X (Twitter) on April 20 from @aksh_44 handle. So far, about 2 lakh people have seen it and about 4 thousand people have liked it. Many users shared memories related to their old numbers in the comment section:
- One user wrote, “I have been using the same number for 15 years, when Papa had got it in 12th.”
- Another user @captrathee said, “My number is the same for the last 21 years.”
- Many users said that they have been using the same number for 10, 12 or 15 years.
Because of which people do not change numbers?
There can be many reasons for not changing the old number. Whatever reasons are mentioned in the viral video, they may be correct in some cases. However, these are mostly emotional. For example, there is a point in the viral video that if you have not changed the number, you have no borrowings or debt.
This is not a measure. Many people borrow or debt and also repay it on time. In such a situation, they do not need to change the number. Let us also understand those concrete reasons, due to which people avoid changing mobile numbers:
- Earlier, people used to change operators for network problems or better offers, due to which the number also had to be changed.
- However, now there is a facility of mobile number portability. Now you can change your telecom operator without changing the mobile number.
- Earlier, the number had to be changed even when the phone was lost or stolen. But, now you can get another SIM activity immediately by having Aadhaar link.
- Now the number is bank, Aadhaar, PAN, UPI, Social Media, Office… Every registered. Changing the number means updating everywhere, which is quite a mess.
- Those whose profiles are public (eg doctors, lawyers, businessmen), they do not change numbers because clients and customers contact them.
- If the old number remains, old schools, colleges or work friends can be contacted anytime. There is a fear of breaking the connection when taking a new number.
