[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1928694, member: 396914"] I think you missed the point. What LIAB said was that Apple doesn't send SMS for 2FA, they send an iMessage directly to the iPhone, not through the SMS system. Has little to do with whatever phone number, more to do with your AppleID and iCloud login. None of what you recounted about stolen phone numbers has anything to do with it. And to protect from the old switch scam, read these suggestions: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.howtogeek.com/358352/criminals-can-steal-your-phone-number.-heres-how-to-stop-them/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
