How Can I Access iCloud on My New Phone Without Phone Number?

If you still have your original phone number linked to your iCloud, that might still work. But if you don’t have access to that number, you're just going to have to wait for the account recovery process. Unfortunately, Apple is pretty strict about account security. You might want to check if there are any recovery options available through your email.

I get it, that waiting can be a pain! Just remember that Apple prioritizes security for good reason. If your email is verified, you might still need to wait it out. It’s annoying, I know, but it’s how they keep accounts safe.
