I don't know much about drug addicts tbh ... but maybe if they owe the dealers money they get rid of their numbers ...you will have to ask bigfatblonde ..she seems to know .....
I know a bit about them. I worked in the community and taught simple cooking for GDAS, which is a unit for people recovering from Drugs and Alcohol use.
NOT ONE OF THEM OWNED A PHONE. Not one....they couldnt afford to.
The one guy who was addicted to Heroin told me it got so bad he could not even function each day all he thought about was how he would get his next fix. Even after about 9 months clean, he still looked a mess to be honest and you could see he had a rough life.
I am sure if this Monterio was a drug crazed heroin addict his wife would have noticed............
As to having phones, he probably did have phones to find work, and be there if someone had a job for him. He worked whenever he could whereever he could so having a phone would be important to him.....
Anyway i think this story has turned my stomach to be honest.
Since this sorry story started with the child going missing its turned into an XENOPHOBIC witch hunt.....
I NOTE THAT ANOTHER GUY WHO IS NOW LIVING IN BRITAIN (WHITE BRITISH), ALSO HAD HIS MOBILE PHONE PINGED IN THE SAME AREA AND YET NOT ONE PERSON HIS TALKING ABOUT HIM.....
Wonder why? >@@(*&)
Oh yeh silly me he is white, and alive............
