Stuck in account recovery

My 13 year old daughter changed her iCloud password and code for her iPhone and cannot remember. We are trying account recovery and it says a text message will be sent which never arrives. Is there a way to phone or contact apple support? We now have a US$800 phone that cannot be used and are getting desperate. Grateful for any suggestions on how to get out of this loop

One important thing to note is that unless you start account recovery from the settings on the device, you shuld not use the device at all. And the same applies for any other devices linked to her account.

 

* If you submitted your account recovery request with iforgot.apple.com through your device's browser, you should avoid using that device during this period. Using that device might cancel account recovery. 

* To avoid delays, turn off other devices that are signed in with your Apple ID until account recovery is complete.
