Thanks, Maria. It turns out I do have a trusted phone number, the same one that is my mobile phone number. So, I guess I will be OK. If I put the Sim in the new phone when I get it, when it comes time to set things up, hopefully the code will come through to that new phone, and everything will be good. Mary
