Phone numbers are recycled so eventually it will become someone else's phone number unless you continue paying for it.

I hope you bought your phone with cash in that case, since even without providing phone number it's easily indentifiable in network back to you even without SIM card through IMEI when registering to network.
I live in a country with strict KYC on phone numbers - my signal account uses a phone number from a different country in the world, not associated with any person in a country I have never been to and activated in a very odd location once only before being destroyed.
If you actually care about security / privacy to the extent of hiding from state actors then it is trivial to do. If you are cosplaying as a privacy enthusiast, then different matter and we can all bang on about open-source, audits, 14 eyes, tor, monero.
