Can't access my account bc it keeps asking me to receive a text at an old phone number and gives NO other options. Tried clicking "problems logging in?" and resetting password. They sent me a code to my email address but once I get past that it's back to wanting to send me a text to an old phone number.
Tried resolution center but it wants to do the same thing.
Tried message center. Same thing.
Tried calling their phone helpline (and I can't paste the number here for some reason it gets rejected when I submit) and after going through 5 minutes of menus it said "due to covid we're closed" and hung up on me.
Every single attempt to contact them results in them wanting to text me a code to an old phone number and I can't change it.
So how am I supposed to fix this?

same issue, support is useless. I was told by chat I can verify via email using old bills etc but so far all replies have ignored what I've wrote in the emails.
Phoning in is useless, can't get through to anyone.
