I recently found out that some of my old classmates used my phone number to create a Telegram account. I'm getting a bit anxious about this. Can they hack my phone or access my Gmail account just because they have my number?

Just remember, while your number alone doesnโ€™t give them access to your accounts, itโ€™s good to be cautious. Maybe take some time to change your passwords and enable two-factor authentication just in case!

You have control over your phone number, so you can check what they might have done. If youโ€™re really worried, itโ€™s a good idea to lock your SIM and even consider getting a new number. Better safe than sorry!

Yeah, it's definitely a bit concerning! If they're using your number for Telegram, it raises some red flags. Why would they do that unless they have something to hide? Luckily, they canโ€™t really hack your accounts just with your phone number aloneโ€”still, it's wise to stay alert.
