When my sister died she had already tidied her affairs. The remaining house contents went to a charity. I received a few small items of family sentimental value - plus her mobile phone which was a better model than my own.
The PAYG SIM still had some credit - so I used that for a while to send texts to people who were not in her circle. When that expired then my old phone SIM was to be moved to it. Her number would then expire after a few months of inactivity. As far as I knew - anyone in her contact list had been informed of her death.
One day there was a voicemail on the mobile. Who could it be? One of her grandsons had been hoping that there would be a voicemail response recording so he could hear her voice again. There wasn't - so there followed a sorrowful "conversation" about how much he missed her.
Heartbreaking.
