Can't access old phone number

Hi, a little while ago I switched numbers with EE and I now have a new number, but that old number had the 2fa for my email account and it is not letting me in to verify my identity, what should I do? I need access to my old number.

If you have changed your number, then your old number is no longer yours but will now be in a period of quarantine before being eventually recycled for re-use.

You've not quantified how long "a while ago" is, but if it was literally a matter of hours then you may have half a chance of recovering an old number. Any longer, and it's gone. You'll have to find alternative means to access your account.

@hamzahossen , you can ring customer service, press 2 and should be able to speak to someone, to sort this out.

To contact EE customer service dial 150 from your mobile phone or ring customer service for free using Skype or another phone: +44 800 079 8586 or +44 800 956 6000.
