Cell phones

When people switch cell phone numbers is their old number abandoned forever?
Or is it just passed on to someone else who is getting their new cell phone?

I woke up last night, asking myself these very important questions
and
knew i would not be able to fall back asleep until I found my answers
because it's things like this that haunt me.

After dialing my abandoned cell phone number, I got the answers I was looking for.
My number seems to have been passed on to a guy with a manly voice.
Rather than tell him my real reasons for calling, I just lied and said,
"Oh I totally have the wrong number..."

I think it would have creeped him out if I said,
"Dude! It's me, Val! How do you like this number? It used to be mine! I hope you're liking it."

So if you ever had any questions about where cell phone numbers go,
now you know.
