You may need to contact the carrier so that you can be fully disconnected from the service. You’ll also need to remove yourself from social media completely. Shut down all of your accounts on platforms that promote social interaction between people. Try to stop communicating with anyone as much as possible. Keep your communication at the minimum level necessary by avoiding speaking, emailing, and making conversation wherever possible.
