How to Change Your Phone Number in Gmail
It’s not uncommon for people to change their phone numbers at some point in their lives. Whether they’ve just moved, or they’re simply tired of the same old digits, it’s a common practice.
But when you change your phone number, you usually have to call everyone and update your contact information so that any calls they make or receive go to the new number.
And if someone added your old number as a forwarding address for text messages? That means you’ll also need to update them with your new one too.
Luckily, there is a way to keep all your important contacts updated with your new phone number without having to contact them individually. Google makes it easy! Just follow these steps:
What Happens When You Change Your Phone Number
Keeping your phone number and signing in to Gmail with the same account is a simple way to make life easier. But what happens if you change your phone number?
Luckily, Google has made it easy for you to migrate your old phone number to a new one. You’ll be able to use your new phone number as an alias when signing into Gmail and all of the messages in your inbox will update automatically.

with your new phone number
When you change your phone number, you may also want to change the phone number listed on all of your accounts with the same email address. If that’s the case, then this tutorial is for you!
It only takes a few easy steps to connect your new phone number to Gmail and then access all of your messages from your new one – without any hassle.
So, let’s get started!
Go to Settings and select the Accounts and Import tab.
Click on “Add another email address” and follow the prompts until you arrive at a screen that looks like this:
Enter your new phone number, choose “Other” for the service provider and click Next Step.
You should see a confirmation code appear on the screen – type it in and click Next Step again. Finally, confirm your Google Account password and hit Done!
Importance of Changing Your Gmail Username and Password
Since Gmail is so ubiquitous, it’s important to change your username and password if you ever move. This is because all of your old emails will still send from your old email address.
We recommend updating your username and password before you move so that you don’t have to worry about going back later.
To do this, click on the gear icon in the top right corner of Gmail and select Settings. Select the General tab and then scroll down to Username or Email Address under Email Account Management. Click on Edit next to “Your current email address” and type in a new username that’s easy for you to remember. Then, enter a new password twice for confirmation. Hit Save Changes at the bottom of the screen and you’re all set!
Removing Unsubscribed Emails from Your Inbox
If you’ve ever taken the time to unsubscribe from a company’s emails, but still find yourself receiving them on a regular basis, there may be a few reasons for this.
First, some companies may use an “opt-out” form instead of an “opt-in” form. This is where you explicitly tell the company that you do not want to receive their emails and make it difficult for them to remove your email address from their list. If this is the case, the easiest way to stop receiving those emails is by contacting customer service or submitting a request through their website.
Second, many email providers use automated filtering systems that are programmed to block additional mailings if they are deemed unwanted or spammy. This means that even if you have unsubscribed from one mailing list, your email provider might still classify it as another type of mailing list that is not wanted. As a result, you will continue to receive these emails because your email provider does not know about your intent to unsubscribe.
To solve this problem, click on the “Unsubscribe” link in any email which sent using an “opt-in” option instead of an “opt-out” option.
