Change apple id account

Now that my work phone is gone I need to erase the old apple id account from work and put in my personal one on my phone. However, they only send me confirmation to my old work number.

How can I delete that one and put in my personal one?

See if anything here helps.  If necessary, you can use account recovery as explained in the link at bottom of the article.

You need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime on all devices/computers.
