What happens if you do have a registration lock when your number gets transferred away? The new owner can't use Signal? Do they complain with their mobile comp

  The registration lock is active for 7 days after the last time signal was used by that account at which point it is removed. The edge case would be someone that continued to use signal with their old phone number, effectively blocking its new registration.

    There is no way to get that number unless the person who no longer owns it accepts to relinquish it?

      When they eventually move to use a new phone, they’ll need to know the code sent via text. It’s basically a dumb idea to use the account while someone else owns the number, eventually you’ll lose access to it
