Can’t change phone number for Meta profiles

When ever I go in to change the accounts to my new phone number it keeps sending link to old number. It is saying the old number is a WhatsApp number. If anyone has a work around it would be great. Don’t want to lose the accounts or whoever has the old number take the account.

      Hello. The manager of Meta,

      I'm currently facing a problem. I can't log in to my original account ***@163.com. The password is correct, but I'm stuck at the step of receiving the SMS from the meta. This is because: ① I used a Chinese mobile number with +86 prefix, but I didn't receive the SMS sent by meta. Therefore, I can't log in to my initial account. ② Initially, I thought it was a password issue and changed the password. Now the PIN code is also useless. Please help me. I don't want my quest3 to become a brick. I can provide any of my purchase information, orders, and detailed mobile phone number. Please help me remove the double authentication for my account.😭😭😭

  • 你好。Meta的经理

    我现在有一个困扰,我的原始账号  登录不上去了,密码对了,卡在手机号短信那一步了。因为(1)我用的是+86中国的手机号,而meta 发的短信我并没有收到,因此我无法登录我的初始账号。②最初登录不上我以为是密码问题,我就改了密码。现在PIN码也没用了。请帮帮我,我不想要我的quest3变成砖头,我可以提供任何我的购买信息、订单以及详细的手机号。麻烦帮我解除我账号的双重认证😭
