Just to clarify, your Apple ID isn't tied to your SIM card, but to the email address you used to create it.

If you've lost access to your SIM card and can't receive verification codes sent via SMS, you can definitely use another trusted method to verify your identity, like your Gmail account, if it's associated with your Apple ID.


Here's what you can do:

  1. Go to iforgot.apple.com
  2. Enter your Apple ID (the email address) and click 'Continue'.
  3. You'll be asked to confirm your phone number. Since you don't have the SIM, click on "Can't access your trusted phone number?"
  4. Follow the instructions to use your Gmail account for verification.


I hope this helps!

If you use your mobile phone number as your Apple ID, you need to contact your carrier and ask a new SIM card.
