Password reset 2 factor ph# incorrect

When resetting password a two factor text seems to go to the temp number I was given when I first ported over and not to the phone my wife is using. How do I fix this so the two factor text goes to the public mobile number.

Hello @Newfnut 

Try clicking on Didn't Get the Code or Resend code. You can see if sending it to your email or voicemail are options. If they aren't there, you'll have to get customer service to fix that.
