In many countries, a pre-paid phone costs almost nothing to keep active.

I keep a UK number for some 2FA systems, it costs about £0.10 per year. I just have to send an SMS every 6 months to keep the line active.

It's very easy to forget to send the sms, which will then make you loose your number. The carrier will take the number back and assign it to another person.
