two factor authentication

I have two factor authentication on, for my apple account. Now I have a new iPhone, because my other phone broke down. Now when trying to configure my new iPhone the two factor authentication is triggered and send an sms to my phone number. However my sim card broke so authentication using this number is not possible. How to access now my Apple ID?

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

Thanks for the feedback. The thing is I know my login name or Apple ID and password. The thing here is that the phone number connected to that Apple ID (used for 2 step authentication) don’t work. So an sms is sent to that number but cannot access that number, and therefor cannot fill in that 6 digit code. So the question is, is there a way to work around that 6 digit code? Or maybe fill in a different mobile number? Or maybe use my other Apple ID and connect by using that?
