Tell HN: Phone numbers are reused by telecoms as early as within 30 days
Reminder since government and companies are going backward here using phone number as the only verification point for logging you into sensitive services.
I got a new phone number few days ago and I can actually access someone else's account on a few apps. (Not to mention, I have been getting spammed by everyone the guy signed their number to. Gonna switch the sim.)
Telecoms here also deactivate your number if you don't recharge it within like few months which I got close to. I almost always use wifi and being dual sim, I never needed to recharge the other one.
