I recently got locked out of my old bank account because I didn't use the SIM from my country of origin for 5 months. My mobile operator disabled my ~15yo phone number and I can't recover it without flying there and visiting their office with my ID.
That's why I also feel uneasy towards all these number-based messengers. They're targeted at users who rarely leave their countries.
