I have a Yahoo account that I am trying to get into and I have the correct password but Yahoo is demanding that I prove it is me by sending a message to a phone number that I have connected. However that number was disconnected some time ago and it has not been recycled yet, dialling the number will only get “you have dialled an incorrect number”. I phoned Ofcom about this yesterday and was told that I need to phone any service provider and request that the number be taken out of quarantine. Yet I had phoned Asda mobile, who the number was originally with, before and only had a very frustrating conversation with them. They were telling me that they can’t reactivate that number or allow me to choose the old number but they can offer me a new one which had me saying to them “I don’t want a new number I need my old number”. So I related that to the person at Ofcom and they said that I should try a different service provider to request my number be taken out of Quarantine. However I don’t know which one to try I tired ringing EE because I had looked my number up online and was told they own it. However, when I rang them I was told it wasn’t on their system but then go hounded by calls trying to get me into a contract. So I am don’t know who would be best to call about this, can anyone suggest what company would be best to ring?
