I doubt she'll need a new cell phone, but she will need to change her number.

as if she had more info she did not divulge.. (she saw nothing)... she was so nervous she just blurted out her number....and apparently they are not on any delay, so out it went to the world.. Her mother is probably pulling her hair out or is on the phone now to change the number..

That reporter should be admonished severely for that error.

My personal cell phone number ended up in a regulatory docket and assholes started calling me day and night to share their mostly insightful and articulate thoughts on the subject.
