The issue is primarily that some folks have moved all of their online connections onto facebook - they've put all of their eggs in that basket. If you want to keep up with them at all you need to at least have the bearest presence on the platform.
This is less about that dude from highschool and more about your cousin.

- munk-a 5y agoTo what number? The one they have now or the one they switch to without telling anyone in a few months?
- wang_li 5y agoThis sounds like a you and your cousin problem. It seems pretty strange that it would be suggested that the government step in to regulate a third party because you and your cousin can't manage to stay in touch.
- stemlord 5y agoPeople don't change numbers that often. Unless your cousin is a drug dealer in which case you were only on their burner phone, meaning you must have just been a customer to them, and not even an important one.
- dexterdog 5y agoPeople don't change numbers very often. Most people never do.
- heavyset_go 5y agoI think this is a class and age thing. A lot of less wealthy and young people use prepaid wireless carriers because of cost, and end up just getting new phone numbers when they buy a new shitty phone or switch to a plan that's a better deal for them. It costs money to port numbers between carriers, and it's a pain to set up when you can just pop in a SIM card and start making calls/texts right away with your new number.
