What's the best the thing u think I should do?

Why put up people's bills in text when we know numbers can be reassigned? They ahould use a secured website or email prompt to remind people instead.

That means you need to report the sim, before it will be traced to you. Maybe he/she may have blocked the sim for a reason or the sim got lost.

A registered sim should not be re-register to another user

File a report with the network you bought the line from and keep the record as an alibi

When the time comes you go confess. Just like that guy who bought Buhari's daughter number.

If the number is inactive, the number should be recycled. At that point, it will be reassigned and it is not the duty of the service provider to inform the world of the reassignment of a number.

If you look at the text message, you will see that the message is recent, recent bills with recent balance, that proof that the inactivity of the sim is not up to a year.

run a search of the number on Google...or Facebook....you might be able to reach the original owner..

or set up a WhatsApp account with the number...then update your status to sth catchy....


i am sure one of her contacts will message you. From there, you might be able to locate the real owner.

cheers.

PS.

You can use a status like: I just tested positive to Covid-19....I feel depressed.

They may have been sending it monthly as an auto-text. The very reason why they shouldn't send same as a text.
