““The only thing that matters is the future,” he told me after the civil trial was settled. “I don’t even know why we study history. It’s entertaining, I guess—the dinosaurs and the Neanderthals and the Industrial Revolution, and stuff like that. But what already happened doesn’t really matter. You don’t need to know that history to build on what they made. In technology, all that matters is tomorrow.” “))

We at Uber treat security seriously, therefore we recommend that customers associate only one mobile number to their account. Usage of multiple mobile numbers may inadvertently be flagged by our security and fraud team.

Uber does not allow multiple accounts from a single device.
The most you can have is 2 accounts on one device, that too, not under the referral code of your account.
So, technically, you have violated their policies which resulted in your account being banned.
How to get it back?
write an email to support and state the facts you have stated here. Attach a photo of an ID proof and request them to give you access back. Be polite and request rather than demand.
