Hi Folks

I am getting a new handset and phone number shortly.

Apart from messaging all my contacts individually, is there a better/quicker way to tell everyone my new number?



Thanks

    Best of luck, especially if you use a lot of apps for banking and financials.

    Make sure you know all your recovery emails, passwords and memorable information as any 2FA texts may go to the old number.

    It's bad enough when moving to a new device let alone changing your number at the same time.
