Mother ‘devastated’ at recycling of dead son’s phone number

A HEART-BROKEN mother criticised Vodafone Ireland yesterday after she discovered that her dead son’s number was supplied to a new customer who then unwittingly erased her son’s voice from his voicemail.

It was the last link that Geraldine, from Cork, had to her son.

The family accused the mobile phone companies of “gross insensitivity” for recycling the numbers of dead people and giving them out to new customers.
