Hello everyone. I have a dilemma and need some advice. Some time ago, I used to see a great provider (my ATF), and she gave me her cell number for contact. I felt comfortable enough to give her my cell number, and we saw each other whenever she came to town for work.
Sadly, at one point, everything had to end. During our last encounter, she told me that she was going to disconnect her number, but she promised that she would call me to see how I was doing. I didn't want to ask for her new number b/c I felt that she wanted that private & also, she didn't offer it to me. Well, some months went by, and from out-of-the-blue one day, I got a voice mail on my phone from her! My ATF said that she was doing great, and she would try to reach me again in the future. The voice mail on my phone identifies all callers that leave a message. Consequently, I had her new cell number (whether she knew it or not).
To complicate things, I changed my number when I moved to another state. Therefore, I have her number but she does not have new one. I've been debating whether or not to call her b/c I feel awkward about it. I'm concerned b/c she may have a whole new and comfortable life, and I don't want to interfere with it.
I also do not want to raise possible suspicions on her side in case someone knew that I called. On the other hand, she possibly tried to contact me again and gave up b/c of my disconnected old number.
Thanx for reading the long post, and would appreciate any advice.

Call her.  If you get a recording leave the message that she had called you at a number that has now changed and give her your new number...if she wants to call you she now is able to...
If she answers, well, ask if she remembers you, if she says yes ask if she can talk, if she says yes have at it...

A short call would be appropriate, I think.  As long as your return message was simple and not specific, such as "Hi Joan, this is a voice from your past.  Remember John Collins?  I've moved from Barstow and live in Vegas now.  If you ever want to call to say hi, my new number is 702-333 1212"

This of course, assumes that her name is Joan, that your's is John, that you moved to Vegas and your new # really IS 702 333 1212 .... LOL  but you get the idea.

Just don't be surprised if HER new number is long gone and assigned to someone else ... and that it's possible your ships have past into the night for the last time.
