After clearing my iPhone data I tried logging to my iCloud but it requested for my phone number and I misplaced the sim card

Re: I have been trying to recover my iCloud but it keeps sending verification code to my lost number

You might want to try logging in to your Apple ID account online, to update the phone number there.

(If you have a Mac or other device listed in your Apple ID account you could get the verification code on that.)

Here's the link to Apple ID log-in:

and

How to: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

says

"If you have a trusted device running iOS 9 and later, OS X El Capitan

and later, iPadOS 13 and later, or watchOS 6 and later, the verification

code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices".

"If you still can't sign in:

If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes,

you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. "

Account recovery might take a few days or longer,

depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity.

All the best :-)

Hello eze245,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

If you're unable to receive your verification code on any of your devices, you'll want to start the account recovery process. This article can walk you through that: How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support

Cheers!
