The person who used to have my number../

[SassyCassie47]

Has not updated her number for anyone since getting my phone I am getting 3-6 phone calls a day EVEN ON SUNDAY. Today Alone I've had 8, all for the same person. So I assume it's someone whose number is close to mine or was mine in the past. I need help! I am going to go absolutely insane if I don't find a solution. Any Suggestions? What is the policy on changing your number?

One thing you can do is to go into the phone app and hit the little "i" inside the circle next to a number that's called you, scroll the whole way to the bottom and choose "Block this Caller."  Then your phone won't ring or show a notification if that person tries to call you, if they leave a voicemail it will go to a "blocked messages' section in voicemail and you won't get any notification for this either.

To change the number, I found this page on Verizon's site:
