    If people are frequently calling the OPs number by mistake and giving out their own personal information without confirming they have connected to the correct phone perhaps the telecom company or regulartor could remove his number for the pool and give him a new one.
    Does someone have a legal right to keep their own number? Who owns it?

    AFAIK the telecom companies are licensed by the state which retains numbers as an asset. I still see no reason for OP to change his number.

    I'll post this again because not really sure op and others are getting it.

    OP confirmed his number is as below.

    08X +++ +++=

    OP also has no direct evidence that he shared on this thread that the garda is giving the ops number out, except for the large amount of calls he receives.

    So let's say his number is as below to make it easier to understand.

    087 888 8889

    Now if the gardas number is any of the below, it is easy for the average intelligent public to make mistakes.

    Garda number--087 888 8895 (last digit could be any number)
    Mistake- 087 888 88895 (last digit ignored when dialling)


    Garda number - 085 888 8889
    Mistake - 087 888 8889 (087 prefix habit with some people)

    In fact with the high number of repeating 8's, in this example, mistakes are even easier than if you had a complex number.

    Also some more possibilities below with spaces removed for extra confusion.

    OP - 0877777776
    G - 0877777767

    OP - 0871111112
    G - 0871111121

    this is exactly what happens. I know this because i get the same. for some reason the OP seems to keep dismissing this possibility.

    It seemslike he has some issue with An Garda Siochan. So if he can like this to them he will.

    People dial the wrong number all the time. When it's a very simple number you can be sure people make that mistake far more frequently.
