You have to at least know your trusted phone number in order to put it into account recovery. Calling apple support without knowing what the trusted phone number is will be a complete waste of your time. Trust me! Best bet is to try to find out what that number is. You don't need to receive an sms on this number you simply need to know what the digits are to initiate the recovery.

Hello blagovestobr,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I see that your Apple ID is locked and you don't remember your trusted phone number and if it is still valid. I'm happy to assist you in trying to help get your Apple ID unlocked.

Please see the article: If your Apple ID is locked , specifically:

If you use two-step verification, you need to use your recovery key and a trusted device. And if you use two-factor authentication, you need a trusted device or trusted phone number to unlock your Apple ID.

Let us know if you have any questions about this.
All the best.
