Regardless of who had the number before, recycling any number in such a short time frame is absurd. Are they (T-mobile) that limited in the numbers in their pool?
As a general rule, mobile #'s are recycled in 30 - 60 days. We don't know how long ago Zimmerman changed it. Don't assume the mobile # was recycled sooner than that. There is a cost associated with obtaining phone #'s for the phone company. They recycle mobile #'s for a reason.

Probably small, and they will get numbers in blocks of 10,000 (a 3 digit exchange). Numbers are obtained from the North American Numbering Plan Administration, which charges only administration fees.
A number that belongs to someone else just last month what a pain in the butt, unless they are a hawt chick and are texting me nekid pictures

There is no indication in the original article what date George Zimmerman changed his mobile # or when the unlucky recipient of the recycled # was assigned the number. The shooting occurred more than 2 months ago.

That was in reference to your 30 - 60 day comment, not zimmerman's specific.
I don't want any number that may have belonged to anyone else on May 12th.
At least T-Mobile had the foresight this time around to retire that number.
