Question

My ex took my phone for two months then returned it without a sim. He hacked my phone and it's currently still hacked. I've just put a new sim on, but it's not registering on my phone.

First get a restraining order or call the cops. Then take your phone to a service shop and ask for it to be registered. Your ex may have sold your data to someone who wants it to pretend to be you and make purchases. if you have a backup phone, you should change your password. If you don't, you should let your bank know.
