Google account - reusing old sim.

I have a Samsung s25.
I keep getting, in my google accounts, the old number that was associated with this physical sim number before I ported in my current number. (As in this sim was used before with my old number)

I don't get how the old number keeps showing up.

I've deleted the old number out of my google account a few times but it keep calming back as I have this device set to be verified under the personal info section.

Is this why all other carriers cancel any sim that's been used? You cannot reuse a sim.
But fizz does allow them to be reused.

I don't want to move to esim as I want to be able to use 2 Sims at the same time. Samsung is weird about using 2 Sims at the same time.

Any thoughts? Should I just ignore it. Or perhaps switch to a new physical sim.

    What you can try:

    Delete the number from all Google services: Go to your Google account → Personal information and check each service (Calendar, Contacts, etc.) where the number might be saved.

    Temporarily disable device verification: This could help dissociate the number from your device.

    Restart with a new SIM card: If you really want to eliminate all traces, a new SIM card (blank) could be the solution. This avoids residues from an old profile.

    Ignore it if it doesn't cause problems: If the old number isn’t receiving codes or blocking access, you could simply let it live its ghost life.
