TER General Board

I think a problem is with ad sites who pirate ads without checking

they seem to stay up forever.  A savy provider would contact the review boards & file "problem reports".   If I was a provider & still in business, I'd spend several months transitioning to a new number.  
The issue is valid for guys who have numbers saved in their phones.  I clean mine out before leaving the appointment.

this is for anyone i guess, but i just contacted a provider via text. i saw her ad up, but i didnt notice she had a new number and commenced my contact to schedule.  well i got no response that day, but the next day i received a nice little text "this is my 13yr old sons phone,there is no *insert name*  here" so just a friendly reminder, if you have a providers number saved, make sure it is still good by checking her ad. and thankfully i asked a very tame, vague question, and the name could be a males or females.  but again, just verify those numbers saved on your phone before you text "I wanna fuck you!" lol

That a provider would retire a number and let her young child take it over sounds like the very height of negligence to me.

I have found that ladies that do not publish a number usually change them every year or so. It's a means of additional screening and access control.  

So, yes you should always check for the most current info before contacting.

Correct.. after you change phone numbers, depending on the service provider, that number will go back into circulation anywhere from 1 month to 6 months to a different person. Case in point, I had a college student contact me last summer, saying she had received some phone calls that were obviously meant for me(she had googled her new number & found some of my old ads that I had no control over w/the old number still listed).. asking if I could change them... that if she wasn't a full time student, she might have considered taking the calls, lol. Yes, always check to make sure the number is current.

I know with TracPhones the number will get recycled very quickly once you allow it to become inactive.  There is no telling who may wind up with that number after that.

You make an assumption here that the number was handed off by the provider to a family member.  The provider could simply have changed phones AND carriers and the number went to some new John or Jame Doe (or child) in the next random number up occurrence.

I'm not seeing anything to indicate that the provider gave the number to HER son.  Granted it's another poorly phrased and badly punctuated post but it sounds like the phone simply wound up in the possession of a young child with no relation to the provider.

If you're a married hobbiest, you may want to use caution that Tiger should've heeded.  Don't keep ANY providers' or SO's numbers on your phone!  Keep them online or use something like Google Voice and keep them in "the cloud".  It's was an error in judgment that cost him million$$$!  Don't make the same costly error.
