In Thailand, Lost my phone somehow, have a UK number, bought a phone but android won't let me sign into google account on new phone. authentication options are only: phone call to original number or text. I don't have access to this number anymore and cannot get a new sim card sent over.

Anyone got any ideas how I can solve this?

Many thanks.

Hey, you can talk to the carrier company when you'll reach your country and get the same number again in order to access all your accounts and other stuff related to that number. It's the best way possible to retrieve your accounts.

I also faced this issue and Google won't let you in unless you're signing in from a familiar phone that you've used in the past to log in or Google had already recognized as the trusted device.
