    Getting rid of an old ph. number on my old phone

    I have an absolute dinosaur of a cellphone: an LG Android (LG got out of the cellphone business entirely at least five years ago ....)
    My current list of contacts includes my sister's NEW phone number but some of my texts are going to her old number. How do I purge that? Just get rid of the older texts?

    Make sure the old number is not in your phone anywhere (even under a different name). And yeah, delete the entire prior list of messages (the phone should be able to delete the entire "conversation"/message chain all at once. Try running a Search on the old number in there and see what crops up.

      A lot is going to depend on how you initiate the text message. Are you using voice commands? If so, you need to make sure that the voice commands find the correct cell number. That will mainly depend on you contacts, and making sure the old number is not associated to the name.

      If you are opening your texting app, and selecting the text thread, it should be going to who you select.
