My phone will not power on for some reason, because of this I cannot use two factor authentication to log into my account, I cannot talk to a live representative because it wants me to log in . How am I supposed to fix this?

Why would you chose to send a private message to this person instead of sharing the solution publiclly so that other people experiencing this issue won't have to create another thread. I am having the exact same issue. My sim card is not working, I cannot call for obvious reasons and the web site wants me to use two-factor authentication to verify my login by sending me a text that I obviously cannot receive. The fact that this isn't an obvious issue to A CELL PHONE CARRIER, is mind boggling at best.

Please help me too. I lost my phone in London and it is the main phone on our account. When I try to log in, it sends two factor authentication to my account. I cannot chat with a Verizon rep without logging in. I can't start a claim without logging in...there's note even a phone number I can find to call.

I am having the same problem, I am in the UK and my phone screen no longer works so I cannot access my account because I cannot use the two0factor identification.  I cannot call US numbers either and I cannot use the online chat because I cannot login.  Please help.

For device manufacturers, your privacy is a priority. It is extremely important that only you are able to access it; however, manufacturers do have available options for lost devices. What's the devices make and model? We will be glad to help you find all available information. ~Geo

I am also struggling with this issue for the second time, my current iPhone died and I am unable to turn it on I have received a replacement from Apple however without access to the old phone I can't directly transfer the phone number and without access to the number I can't use the two factor to get into my verizon account...very frustrating which means I can't access support online or login.

I am having the same issue. My phone is on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean unfortunately. So obviously I can not login as I don't have access to the phone anymore. I am trying to order another phone and transfer the number from old phone to the new one. What am I supposed to do?
