Cant sign into Apple ID using trusted number

I cant use the trusted number when signing in because I don’t have the number anymore. The number went to someone else. How else do I sign in to my Apple ID if I cant use the trusted number anymore.?

All of your options to sign-in without a trusted device are outlined here:


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


Going forward, suggest you setup multiple trusted numbers - covering voice and SMS options - to better guard-against this situation.
