Hello,

I previously had a phone number with ID from around 2018 to 2021, if I remember correctly. I used this number to set up a Google account and enabled two-factor authentication (2FA). Later, I switched to a different phone number but forgot to update the number associated with the Google account.

Earlier this year, I remembered the account and attempted to access it, but I was prompted to enter a verification code that is sent to the old phone number. I wasn’t sure whether recovery would be possible, but I read that disconnected phone numbers are typically recycled and reassigned to new users.

I tried calling the number several times, but the calls were immediately cut off and did not ring, which suggests that the number may not have been reassigned yet. I also contacted live chat agents to ask whether I could reclaim the number, but they were unable to assist.

Is there any way for me to recover this phone number so that I can receive the verification code and regain access to my Google account?

Thank you for your time and assistance.
