I have myself boxed into a corner. I can't get logged in because for some reason my device
is not recognized. So it askes for a security phone number call and send a security code. But
the number it wants it use is an OLD number. When I click the option to enter a new
number it will not accept enough digits for my INTERNATIONAL phone number.
So I can't get logged in... and I can't fix it by accessing my account... because I can't get
logged in.
HOW do I approach this problem?

call cs they will try to remove the flag on your account , once you're able to login setup your travel plans so will not have problem again , but if you are living in that country permanently then I advised to close the account and setup another one in that country.
