Deactivating a number from iMessage

How can I deactivate a number without my SIM card? I got a new number and now both my new number and old number are registered on iMessage and FaceTime. How can I deactivate my old one without the physical SIM card?

How to remove phone number from iMessage without the sim How do I remove a phone number from iMessage if I no longer have the sim or access to the number? I recently changed sim provider and in the 2 days before my phone number changed back to my original one I was using 2 phones at once. Now the number has transferred over and I didn’t realise the temporary number was being used for iMessage. The only option I can find to remove it is to have the sim with that number which I don’t have anymore. Is there another way to get rid of it as I come up as an unknown number when calling and texting people?
