Spam callers don’t seem to care what number they’re dialing.
From what I’ve heard, it’s very easy to change your phone number on T-Mobile.

Fair point.

Good luck getting all your 2FA changed on all your accounts. Good luck updating all your friends and family. Good luck informing every company you do business with.

Looks like a USA problem.
Idk about 2FA, but updating friends and family is insanely easy on most messaging platforms. I can update my phone number and then WhatsApp or Telegram will prompt those who chat with me that I’ve changed my number and they can switch to that number for chatting.
As for contacting businesses, this seems like a personal situation, since I contact companies via the above messaging apps. So they will receive a notification about my updated number.
I’ll verify if this is optional, so we can choose if people get that notice…

You act like those aren’t the reasons my number is getting changed.

IMHO, you shouldn’t use your phone number for 2FA anyways.

I agree, but usually don’t have an option.

I avoid this wherever possible, because the only reason to do it is to track you more. It’s expensive and more complicated to set up than app 2fa which is free to operate.
