How to notify contacts of new phone number
Notifying your contacts of a new phone number can be a bit of a hassle, but there are several ways to do it. Here are some methods:
Method 1: Update your contact information online
- If you have a Google account, you can update your contact information on Google Contacts. This will automatically update your contact information for all your Google services, including Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar.
- If you have an Apple account, you can update your contact information on iCloud.com. This will automatically update your contact information for all your Apple devices.
Method 2: Send a mass text message
- Use a messaging app like GroupMe, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger to send a mass text message to all your contacts. You can create a group chat and send a message with your new phone number.
- Alternatively, you can use a service like Textedly or BulkSMS to send a mass text message to your contacts.
Method 3: Update your social media profiles
- Update your social media profiles (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) with your new phone number.
- This way, your contacts can easily find your new phone number on your social media profiles.
Method 4: Use a contact management app
- Use a contact management app like Contacts+ or Phonebook to update your contact information and send notifications to your contacts.
- These apps often have features that allow you to send mass updates to your contacts.
Method 5: Send individual texts or emails
- If you don't want to send a mass text message, you can send individual texts or emails to your contacts with your new phone number.
- You can also use email templates or canned responses to make it easier to send the same message to multiple contacts.
Method 6: Use a phone number forwarding service
- Use a phone number forwarding service like Google Voice or Skype to forward calls and texts from your old phone number to your new phone number.
- This way, your contacts can continue to reach you on your old phone number, and you can update your contact information later.
Remember to also update your contact information with any relevant businesses, organizations, or services that you use regularly.
