LOST access to linked GMAI, Phone Number and ALL paid subscriptions
When I bought my first iPhone eons ago, I linked my gmail account and phone number to my Apple iCloud Account. Recently, I purchased Apple Watch 9. Had problems activating & linking the watch to my account. Upon later review, I discovered billing data needed to be updated as several recurring charges had recently been denied for long termed subscriptions. After updating my billing data, I immediately discovered I no longer have access to my linked gmail address or phone number for my subscriptions. In Apple World my gmail account and phone number are listed as already belonging to someone else and that someone is me!!! Afraid my phone, watch & other Apple devices will become useless to me by next month… what can be done to retify this problem - ASAP??
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 17
