Why do people change their phone number

[neku]

I was communicating with a staff of a financial firm on a particular phone number and now she claims that she changed her phone number. What could be the reason for changing the phone number, how safe is it to use the new number?

Changing number could be normal office issue or a scam. Be very careful and make sure you verify through their official office. Remember to protect your money because online scams are on the rise.

It happened here too in some years; however, during the Duterte Administration, it was mandated by the PH government to have the Filipino citizens one SIM only to avoid scamming and crimes. We have to register our sim card with the SIM provider. This time, crimes and scams are minimized in Ph because of the one SIM registration.

The employee has been communicating regularly in the past. She told me that she was changing her phone number and told me to contact on WhatsApp on her new number.

I don't think it is even possible to change Phone number once you link it to your national identification number and bank verification code. You will properly guide the phone number with your life. If you want to change phone after linking it with socia security number, you have to pass through series of process.

The employee of the financial services firm which I use has changed her phone number, so I am wondering what the reason for the change in phone number is?

May be they want to hide themselves from the people. I have not changed my number since 20-25 years because my this number is linked with bank and all other government documents.

When it comes to issues like this, there is no specific answer to this. Most people change their number for personal reasons.

Some people often change their phone numbers to avoid contact with people they no longer want to communicate with, such as former partners.
