Hi and thanks for your comment. I'm not clear as to which info you are saying is incorrect - the details around the mobile phone changed several times over the weeks following Corrie McKeague's disappearance, depending on the source. This blog post was last updated on 21st October, based on comments made by family members interviewed on the BBC Victoria Derbyshire programme and Sky News.
