All Sorts of Hurdles
Unfortunately, getting and reactivating a replacement phone has more hurdles than I could ever imagine. My wife chose for us the style of phone.... long, long ago, that is named after a piece of fruit. This company puts a huge number of blockages in the way of being able to fix a situation like mine. A few of these:
1. My "fruit ID". Probably because I am old, I do not constantly mess around with and fuss with my phone. I do not constantly search for new and better apps, nor do I visit the fruit app store unless I have to, nor do I find it jolly good fun to search around all things "fruit" and fuss and mess around. So, inadvertently, some time over the last decade or so, I probably had to change the password to get some sort of app for authentication. But, unfortunately, I had no damn idea what that new password was. So, I had to go through a "new password" algorithm since the destroyed phone could not receive texts from the fruit store. This meant the fruit store put me in "lockdown" for 5 days while they investigated things and I could not do anything.
2. At midnight yesterday, the fruit store sent me a text telling me to change my password. Which I did, immediately.
3. I have been on the U phone all day, now trying to get ready for activating the new phone when it eventually arrives.
That is about all I can write at the moment.

The fruit company makes things VERY difficult sometimes. Their genius bar at the Fruit Store is not comprised of geniuses.
OTOH if your old phone is still viable, you just put it beside the new one, and the transition gets done in short order.
I just meant that as a good point about Apple, not something that you could do in this case. :)
