Phone number history - Who had my number before me?

How do I find out who had my phone number before me

Thank you for your question. The quick answer is that Bell won’t tell you. If you are receiving calls for someone else, say to them that they have the wrong number. If becomes harassment, you might ask Bell for a new number. I have had collection agencies call for a previous number holder. Once I recognized the number, if I saw it appear on Call Display, I let it roll to voice mail. They stopped after a while. You can also use Call Privacy.

 Call Privacy Feature.

Call Screen is an included Call Privacy feature that allows you to block up to 12 phone numbers.  These callers will receive a voicemail saying that you aren't taking calls at this time. Your home phone will not ring and the screened caller is unable to leave a message on your voicemail.
