you misunderstood.

any msisdn is recycleable. and judging by how active our mobile users are, slim chance that you'll be getting virgin numbers. my primary line registered ~7yrs ago already have 3 users before me.

how long a deregistered number gets recycled and re-offered on the market, it's up to the telco.

it just happened to be that you snapped up a msisdn (new, from your point of view) a month after it was deregistered by previous owner.
----------------

of course your msisdn already have an active whatsapp since it was registered for by previous owner. *duh*

telco and whatsapp have no relationship. yes, the telco already cleaned up its own relationship with previous owner. but whatsapp does not have that deregistration detail. you can't blame whatsapp for maintaining the account opened by previous msisdn owner as account was never cancelled.

I had same issue with rhb. previous owner didn't pay celcom bill; got deregistered. then I registered. but since rhb have no relationship whatsoever with celcom, it never dissociate the number from previous owners, and until today rhb still refuse to clean up and stop sending TAC to me. hell, even all his/her whatsapp contact chased me instead for his/her unpaid monies.

u r the one who misunderstood the thread
i think u better read again on what TS is asking or the point of TS open this thread
on the 1st post hes asking/complaining about telco recycle the number so fast and not talking about whatsapps 
he just mentioned that get know the number was recycle via whatsapp when he 1st login and saw there were active group in whatsapp
but you keep point that he blame whatsapp 

and he did not blame whatsapp for the active group (and again u need to read again) and not delete the group or whatsoever

i think the main point here is TS pissoff for getting a recycle number and not complaining about whatsapp lool 

ok, I misread the rant because I see whatsapp all over.

but still, why rant about the number get recycled too early or too soon.

it won't change the fact that it is recycled, and it wont change the relationship with any contact who had this number before. and it will still show up already registered in whatsapp one year later.

next time read first and read properly

and why u butthurt haha

Anyone here that want to use Celcom in the future, please avoid 019-2613656.

What a nightmare of using this number. Debt collector, insurance, loan agent keep calling me to collect debt, promote  new products and so on.

Now I'm using number started with 0111, I feel so happy, no more disturb from unwanted call.

If you guys want to use new number, I suggest you take number started with 0111 ....
