New plan added a new number to my phone

I ordered my son his first phone and upgraded mine. After activating my phone, I have both numbers on it and my son doesn’t have one. When trying to activate his phone, it was to use my old phone to activate. Anyone else heard of this?

Troubleshooting Overlapping Phone Numbers:

Take this up with your Carrier. Seems to be a misconfiguration in the SIM or eSIM card.
