SO, THE MAIN QUESTION HERE,

If let say MAXIS sells my number to new customer, will they be able to see my Whatsapp message ? Would they be in the groups i been?

Isn't this sort of security breach/issue?

So, any advise on what can i do ?

Any way to retrieve whatsapp only OR , AT LEAST, delete/deactivate the account? - i don't have the number with me now.(deactivated dy).

Yes, if a new customer gets your new number and then activated Whatsapp with it within 120 days of you last using it, he/she/it will be able to see all of your Whatsapp contact and groups. This is why, nowadays, if you want to terminate a postpaid account at any telcos, the customer service representative will ask you whether you have terminated your Whatsapp/Telegram etc. accounts or not.

I'm a prepaid user that got terminated by them.

So, you are saying, the new user will be able to send message to contacts or groups, right?

Isn't that a security issue(people be able to act like me and get some data?)?  cry.gif  cry.gif

What can i do ?
*They never ask about my Whatsapp termination. They just terminate my number straightaway.

If it really important, just sign up for the postpaid account. No other choice. Else pray that new owner don't use the number for whatsapp.
