My phone number is being used by another person
I have been getting text messages on my phone that are not targeted for me.
I searched the internet for my phone number and found that another person has the same phone number as me.
The search said that New Cingular Wireless Pcs LLC was the carrier.
How do I stop this?

I have had my second number for almost seven years and I am still getting calls and text for a person I now refer to as 'deadbeat Connie'.

The same as the OP, it's most likely someone either had your number previously or is providing your phone number, either in error or to avoid calls and texts. In that case there's nothing you can do.

We want to help you avoid unwanted texts/calls radamskaplan, jlippencott!
Like our ACE stated, it's not possible for two people to share the same phone number.
Defend yourself against texting scams
Report SMiShing right away! Here’s how:
If you receive an unwanted phone call of any kind, including an unwanted robocall, don’t try to outsmart the bad guy by intentionally giving out wrong information. Just hang up.
Do not call the number back, or call another number they give you, or press any numbers (or links in texts) that you may be instructed to press.
We hope this helps, we are here if you have additional questions! Thank you for reaching out to the AT&T Community Forums!
