You say you lost a phone number in 2022. Might some of the people you know, still have it in their contact lists?

Sorry, I meant that I don't have it in my possession as I've moved out of the country and stopped paying for it, but I still know the number, the issue is that I can't get a message to it for 2FA.

Have you tried calling it and pleading your case with whomever owns it now?

[taosx → rogerrogerr]

I did, it's not currently allocated and it's in a "quarantine" list before some phone network operator allocates it.

I also moved out of country, but I kept paying $10/month for the phone number and $20/month for the mailing address, it's worth it.
