Your credit card expired and you didn't pay your last month of service and to update your credit card details you need access to your email account to confirm ID you but your phone is a new replacement phone and you don't have your 2FA codes for your email account.

Almost any phone will let you make an emergency call without so much as a PIN to unlock it. No active service required.

  It should even work if there isn't a SIM card in the phone, though I've only personally tested it on 2G and 3G.

    Not everywhere anymore, unfortunately. Germany recently banned SIM-less phones from making emergency calls, supposedly due to widespread abuse/hoax calls. Here's a list of countries where it's still possible (according to Apple): https://www.apple.com/watchos/feature-availability/#communications-international-emergency https://www.apple.com/watchos/feature-availability/#communic...

    It's radio certification requirement for phones to be able to do so in some regions, and requirement to NOT be able in some others so it can't be used for pranks and terrorist manifest deliveries.

You just described a couple months of my life - my phone and card went missing, a lot of services were tied to a Revolut account on the phone - and my 2FA/Password Manager/Card became totally inaccessible so I lost access entirely to huge chunks of my life (: It’s amazing how fragile stuff is. Now I’m super autistic about paper backups of everything, having ways back in, etc
