Question

Phone number has been spoofed, need a new SIM but can't change my address

I’ve now contacted ID mobile twice via the chat function.

Issue is my number has been spoofed so I am unable to make or receive phone calls and text messages. I’ve been told I need a new SIM to disconnect the scammers and retain my phone number. Unfortunately I need to change my address and the only way to do this is to do it on the app and enter an 8 digit pin that is sent via SMS….which I can’t receive. I’m going in circles
