Only way to regain entry to your account is via account recovery -- Recover your Apple ID when you can’t reset your password - Apple Support or if you generated recovery key you can use that to regain entry -- How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support.

Not necessary the account recovery is to be done every time , if one remember the old trusted number ( say 1234.... ) that is inactive , the person can visit the cellular service give his identification proof and issue a sim on behalf of the same number and insert the sim https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph3f11fba92/ios in new iPhone that is purchased https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/iphone/iph1fd7e482f/ios

The Apple ID and password is active so is the 2FA active on the iCloud server , once a new trusted number is added the code will start appearing on the new trusted number , and the person can access the account .

See the article  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974

Once the account is accessed remove the old trusted number from the account that will be still visible .
