Cannot log in to Apple ID after losing trusted phone number

If you do not have access to a two-factor authentication trusted number, read about how to get a verification code and sign in by using other methods --> https://support.apple.com/102606

- Use a Trusted Device. If you have a trusted device (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch running the minimum system requirements; see https://support.apple.com/118308 ), the verification code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices or manually using Settings.

- Get a code from an Account Recovery Contact --> https://support.apple.com/HT212513

If you find you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery (https://support.apple.com/102656#:~:text=If%20you%20can%27t%20reset%20your%20password%2C%20request%20account%20recovery ) 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.
