How can I change the phone number on my iCloud account because I can’t get into it without the code verification and I don’t have that phone number or phone anymore

I need to change the trusted phone number that is linked to my account so I can pull up my iCloud account and get all of my stuff back I have been trying for days

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


Verification code - how to get one and sign in with two-factor authentication.

As a last desperate attempt, you may want to contact the old cell phone carrier, see if you can purchase a simcard with that same old number. Buy a cheap throw away phone and use the SIM card in it to receive the code.

Or, put the new SIM card into the phone you are using now, get the CODE then switch SIM cards and test that.

It will cost you a headache or money either way.

Good Luck.
