Portable ' phone: I forget but it is quite some years ago. I changed it when my first 'phone failed.
Only two years after I'd replaced its battery, water penetrated the case and irrepairably destroyed the display, ending some twelve or fifteen years of good service.
Though the change was only through ignorance. I did not know you could carry the number forwards.
Land-line 'phone: When I moved house some twelve years ago, hence a new number anyway.
Microsoft has my telephone numbers and occasionally sends an e-mail asking if they are is up-to-date. No they are not. They are the old ones; but MS gives no method for up-dating them, nor for contacting the company generally. Or if it does give those, they are very well hidden.
Customers being able to contact suppliers for help? The very idea! I am not sure why MS wants my telephone numbers anyway.

@ArishMell they likely want it for two factor authentication. Pretty much all the big OS developers want that type of authentication. Google Apple and MS being the big ones.

Had to buy a new one the middle of last year. Battery as well as the USB port were bad.
While I could have replaced the battery myself, the seals would never be the same.
Cellphones are no longer made to replace the batteries. They are forcing the replacement issues.
Notice some have discontinued extra storage cards on certain cellphones. They expect everyone to replace their cellphone by the time they use up all the storage.

About twelve years. Did not have mobile phone before that. Worked on laptops.
Travelled once to Spain without a phone. It did not worry me. Took six days.
