Well … remove the SIM from your old phone.
That WILL stop any transmission to your old phone (and since it’s a SIM from your old carrier; destroy and dispose the SIM itself)
Your rare “flukiness” is almost certainly related to the simultaneous carrier transition - assuming that you “ported” your pre-existing number from Carrier “Old” to Carrier “New.”
It’s a quite complicated process “behind the scenes” involving SEVERAL entities with multiple electronic “handshakes” occurring between successive steps.
The “goal” is to NOT “drop” your service in the process; it appears you might have actually observed a bit of an “overlap.”
oh … and enjoy your brand new phone. 😉
