My phone number may not be recovered. Grrrr...frustrating really and I have heard and attempted many suggestions. Yea 2nd verification only works when the phone is with you.
Moving forward I am going to have an invitation with a text now number. I have disconnected everything connected to the phone except the number itself. If someone sees my old number starting with 312*6*%(19 it is not me so be careful. Email is the sure as Sh!t way to get ahold of me. Sorry for the inconvenience.
