What mayhem! That's too bad about your old number. I feel your pain on that one. I had the same phone number for many years. Then I moved and the same phone company wasn't available at this next house, even though it was only less than 2 miles down the road. I couldn't take the number with me. They said it would take at least 2 weeks to port over. I didn't have 2 weeks. I needed 1 day. So I lost the number. Then I had to call all the places that had that number and give them the new number. What a hassle.

Gosh, Terry - the nightmare continues! ☹️
