whatsapp - what happens when I lose my phone number?

I have Fi but what happens to whatsapp if I suspend my account but leave the same sim in?

1 I can still use whatsapp as the number has not been reassigned
2 I can't use whatsapp (until I reactivate my number)

3 What if I buy a local sim (which would have a different phone number) - could I use my existing wa account or would I need to create a new account with the new phone number? (and all my previous contacts would not be able to reach me as they would have me linked to my old number?)
