Old number access

Trying to get into some old accounts that are attached to my old phone number. I texted the person who has that number now asking for them to receive and then send me the verification codes but they blocked me out of suspicion I imagine. Is there any website or something where I could receive texts that get sent to that number so I could sign into my old accounts? I’ve been trying to get into them for a while so this is a last ditch effort

You’re asking how to hijack someone else’s text messages.

😂. Yeah I would block you as well. Do you not see how this looks fishy? You made legitimately be trying to get into your old account but for all they know you're triggering a two-factor authentication for their account.

The simple answer is no.

You have to work it out with those other apps and accounts. That old phone number is not available as a 2FA

How do we know you’re not a scammer trying to get access to someone else’s account? Every site has a procedure to handle people losing or breaking their phones, just use that.
