Cannot retrieve verification code

My Iphone 6 died. Trying to activate a different Iphone 6 with my sim card. Entered my Apple ID and password. Recieved message stating that the verification code had been sent to my trusted number (which is my phone that has died). Tried to then access the verification code from my Ipad which also sent the verification code to my phone that I cannot access. How do I move past this point since I cannot get to the verification code?


Why not have your mobile company forward that number elsewhere, move the sim or set up a temporary device?

Apple’s FAQ covers what to do for recovering an account if it comes to that.
