A saved mobile number functions as recovery contact data, so it should be kept current if the user expects to use SMS during password recovery.

GMX can use a stored mobile number in password-recovery situations and may send an SMS unlock or recovery code when that option is available for the account.
The GMX recovery key is important because losing both the authenticator and recovery information can require a different account-recovery process; receiving an SMS is not a universal replacement for 2FA. GMX two-factor authentication relies on the authenticator app and a secret recovery key, with dedicated procedures for users who lose access to the second factor.
