Text messages from long ago.

This is 12/29/24 and I look on my phone and I have a text from Verizon dated 01/15/2021 from the day I buy an iPhone X. But here’s the thing I don’t understand is I have iPhone XR now for over a year and changed to AT&T but same number at both. So how does the text from so long ago come to a new phone and cell service three years later.

Texts My husband got a new number, when I changed it in his contact I lost everything he sent me with his old number. Everything is gone. Why did this happen and how can I get it back?

Text messages going to husband old number even though it’s not saved anymore I tried texting my husband and it went to his old work phone, he doesn’t work with that company anymore so he doesn’t have that iPhone. I deleted that number from his contact, then when I tried texting his regular phone (non iPhone) it changed his number to his old work phone number and sent it as an iMessage. I tried turning off iMessage for an hour and restarted my phone, and I don’t have messages or contacts linked to my iCloud at all. Some random person who has that phone now is now getting iMessages from me and I can’t figure out how to fix it.
