I got a really cheap iPhone in Laos about a year ago.

The people at the shop must have put a Unitel sim card inside it. I clicked on 2 factor authentication because it was a good thing, but now my security mobile number is one I don't have a clue about.

I still have the SIM card with 19 digit code on card, but I have no clue what the 11 digit mobile number is.

Now I'm locked out of my Apple ID with all the apps I've bought etc.

I've even tried getting a Laos VPN to see if it will trick the SIM card into giving me the number.

No matter what I do on the Apple websites it always wants the 6 digit code sent to that number.

Does anyone with experience here have a workaround?

Thank you!
 
[MOD NOTE]
Locking this thread, asking help to circumvent the security is not permitted and will lead to accusations of theft.

My advice is to bring it apple with proof of purchase they may help, other than that there's little that can be done.
