OK, funny. I wonder how they do that.
So, you register using a number from prepaid that you let go. Someone else gets this number now and also registers to signal.
I put that number in my phone book and open signal. Whom of you will I add? Will I presented with a choice as two signal accounts are linked to that number?
I can't really comprehend right now. For WhatsApp I know people who were angry as their WhatsApp account was suddenly no more functioning as they didn't bother to change it to the new number and after a while someone else got their old number and registered WhatsApp on it. -

I have used Signal but that was many years ago.
That's not what I meant. I meant if the provider gives me the number you use for signal your account will be disabled as I am now e.g. +491710000000 and register with signal. So I won't get your contacts but your account is gone and you need to register with another number and tell this new number to your contacts out of band. So you lose your account . -

Will this block from reregistering that number? Otherwise there is a chance that someone gets that number and 'steals' your account. I know of cases where this happened to WhatsApp users who did not change their WhatsApp number after getting a new phone number. -
