Lost my number

I have lost my Skype-in number... It belongs to someone else now. It is like loosing a little piece of something that was part of my identity, along the lines of loosing a domain name that you have been using for years. Rather sad circumstances, but that is the way things go if you do not renew your subscription.

And here I must say that it is not because Skype did not give me the chance, no they notified me even more than once that my subscription was due, and that they would keep the number in reserve for me for three months (in case I would still like to keep the same number). Unfortunately for me, three months passed, I did not renew, and now my number is gone.

The worst part is to choose a new number, and then circulate it to all my friends, telling them the old one is no longer valid. Maybe it will happen sometime in this millenia...
