I selected a phone number that someone else is using.

Nimaa
Great Neighbour / Super Voisin

The phone number I selected while activating my sim card is being used by someone else. I can make phone calls  but when someone calls me, the other person receives the call not me. Also, I can't send or receive text messages. When I try to login to my account, the website texts me a six digit code but I don't receive that code. Instead the code goes to the other person. I  can't login to my account to change my number.
