Sometimes when I need to complain about data on any of these SIM cards, I call the customer care numbers. That is when the inevitable question comes, “Your phone number is 0803****123, right?” What I usually do is tell them I don’t know, like an idiot.
Now I don’t want to feel like that idiot anymore, I get the phone number and write it out before I call. Most of the times, people don’t have their SIM pack where they can easily check their phone numbers. So, what is the way out?
