Looking to see if anyone has any tips. Last year I cancelled my phone contract with OCN.
This wasn’t a huge issue until I discovered one of my online accounts still has that number for 2 factor authentication.
I’ve tried to call OCN to see if the number can be reactivated, but am told once cancelled it’s cancelled forever. This is extremely inconvenient as it’s left me locked out of an account of mine.
Has anyone had a similar issue and found a way to appeal or resolve? Or know of a company that allows you to buy and reactivate old numbers?

this is correct, and chances the number has been already recycled and reused are very high.
You need to contact the company managing the account and see if you can work something out with them.
just call your phone and send an SMS and see if someone replies, once you get the code, just change the 2FA.
