We are obviously mature because initially the thoughts of giving up a home phone number of over 20 years sounded scary. I must have had six different cell numbers over a span of much less, so I don't know why. People seemingly switch contact numbers more often than their underwear nowadays.
We do not really have such a great number of contacts. It'd take only a few dozen calls or email to inform every person in the world who'd need to know. Similarily, we could only come up with several dozen companies or organizations which would need to be advised of a change to our number.
After a little analysis, maybe it'd be good for us to switch to the number provided by Ooma and simply cancel our old Telus landline. I did read a lot of porting horror stories, yet I assume the process has been streamlined over the years. I was wondering: Is it worth the extra effort involved to keep our old number though?
Starting fresh is starting to sound like an excellent idea.
