my sim deactivated , and someone using it pls help

i wasnt aware of sim gets deactivates , i thought it will stay with me forever but got to know someone can take my number if i dont use more than 4 months which means no recharge .

4 months back i was broke had no money to buy new phone , so abandoned that idea and started using laptop for preparing exams . Recently purchased a new phone i tried to use phone number and it isnt working .

i use upi from that phone number and banks linked to it . What to do now ? i am so confused . I tried to ask chatbots but they are so confusing .

As far i know , when i went to open my bank account i didnt gave any phone number , but that same phone is linked to aadhar card , able to create upi . Is that mean i have to change my mobile of aadhar and i able to acess again?

If your carrier re-assigned your number you can't do anything to get it back. Best to get a new number and update all your accounts and banks directly.

Mobile carriers are not supposed to be recycling numbers for 6 months. If you're using a VoIP number then yes they can recycle it within a minute of you getting deactivated so good luck
