I went into account phone number update. However you cant remove a cell phone number , you can only update . Obvious genius programmers.

I had my X1 DVR box replaced with a new one.
All of my new recordings were going to... the non existing box.
I had to delete everything from the queue and recreate.
I still see the recorded stuff that was on the old box, but when I attempt to play I see message saying there is an error and unable to access.

I had to delete the queue two times:
first to the recycle bin
then from recycle bin
all individually; no mass delete...

Did you remember to POWER-CYCLE your account update? Maybe unplug your account and plug it back in? (Sorry, I couldn't resist that ..... )

I suspect the non-removal bit is intentional: more ways for CC to contact you.

Change it to something else (think all "0's", or maybe a # that goes to CC itself, LOL...)

Try putting in your area code at the end. For example if your number is 111-222-3333, try 222-333-3111.

On the other hand, I've been a victim of some nutcase who made up a number to put on his bad checks and guess whose lucky number he made up? MINE. And those debt collectors don't take "no" for an answer. Be careful about subjecting someone to CC calls if you make up a number.

I've had that happen to me as well.
