Ugh... So, long story short:
My ex had me on his account on his contract, which then I had my own phone. I convinced him to take the phone back when he broke it off with me.
A year later (now), got a new phone with Bell as a new customer - went with their "Virgin Mobility" one, as it is cheaper and had the phone I wanted... I got a new number, ready to go...
This morning, I'm checking out the features on my phone - getting my google account up and going... Then I go into my contacts. I see names there that I do not know? "Angel"... "Breanna".... "Broos" (yes, spelt that way)... I recognized that spelling. And those names. Oh dear God those are his contacts from a year ago!
Feeling not only creeped out, but as an accidental creeper, I contacted a rep from Bell and they said it was because I used to be linked to his account. But it is a different number. And that was a year ago that I was under his contract. And the old phone I had on his account did not have his contacts. And my name should have been removed from said account.
So now I am sifting through names, deleting those I do not know. But now the thought (may be silly... but it's there...) of "what if it accidentally crosses messages, pictures, calls etc....?!" Probably won't, but I still feel a tad paranoid. And creeped out. They have assured me it won't happen. But I will be going into the store tomorrow after work to find out for sure...
-shudder-
Other than that I love the phone. And the people are a lot better with this service than Telus ever was.
