"textContent": "@OpenAI_Support I am experiencing the same Codex old-phone-number verification issue.\n\nI can access ChatGPT normally, but when I try to log in to Codex, I am forced to verify using an old phone number that has been permanently deactivated. I cannot receive SMS or WhatsApp codes, and no alternative verification method is offered.\n\nThis issue happened a few times in the past, but later Codex stopped requiring the old phone verification and I was able to use it normally again. Recently the old-phone verification requirement appeared again, and now I am fully blocked from Codex.\n\nMy account has an active ChatGPT Plus subscription and is important for my work.\n\nSupport case number: 10909171\n\nCould you please review my case for the same account-specific Codex unblock/change mentioned in this thread?\n\nThank you.",
