If your 15-year-old mobile number—which was registered with your bank account—has been deactivated and you are unable to reactivate it, there is no need to worry. You can visit the branch to update your number. Alternatively, if you wish to do this yourself from the comfort of your home, that option is also available. You can update your mobile number in your bank account on your own; however, you must have internet banking enabled on your account to do so.

Banks provide the facility to update mobile numbers via internet banking, allowing you to easily update your number from home. Additionally, you can update your mobile number through an ATM, saving you from standing in long queues at the bank.

**How ​​to change your mobile number online**
To do this, first visit the bank's official website and log in to internet banking. After logging in, look for options such as 'Profile', 'Personal Details', 'My Profile', or 'Contact Details'. Locate the option for the registered mobile number and enter your new mobile number. The bank may use an OTP or another verification method to confirm your identity. Once verification is complete, your new mobile number will be updated.

**You can also change your mobile number via ATM**
Some banks allow you to change the registered mobile number linked to your account using an ATM. If your bank offers this facility, you can visit a nearby ATM to perform this task. Insert your debit card and enter your PIN. Then, navigate to options such as 'Registration', 'Mobile Number Update', or 'Update Contact Details'. Enter both the old and new mobile numbers and complete the verification process as per the bank's instructions; your mobile number will then be updated.

You can also visit the bank in person to submit a request to change your mobile number by filling out and submitting the required form.

**Things to keep in mind when changing your mobile number**
There are important points to consider before changing your mobile number. You should only use the bank's official app or official website. If someone sends you a link via SMS or WhatsApp to change your mobile number, do not click on it under any circumstances. After changing the number, perform a transaction to verify whether your mobile number has been successfully linked to your account.
