Switch phone to another phone

How do I switch my phone number from one iPhone to the other? Now the other iPhone is lost or stolen and it shows on my “findmyiphone” app that the same number I’m using now is still registered on to that phone. So when trying to get into my Facebook and having a coded text message sent to me instead of coming to me it’s going to the old phone with the same number! So what do I do?

iPhone 6s, iOS 15

Hello,

Hmm something doesn't sound right. When you worked with your carrier to activate the new SIM in the new phone with your old number, the old SIM in the stolen phone should have been shut off.

Do regular phone calls and text messages come to the new phone? If not, contact your cellular carrier.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen

Good luck.
