I don’t mean to say it was OP’s fault but you shouldn’t really use your primary phone number for 2FA anyways. Using a burner dumb phone dedicated only for 2FA should be standard, right?

Standard? As far as I know, the majority of users dont even use 2FA at all. How do you expect them to have a dedicated phone for it...
It turns out the hacker stole a dealer's ID which meant the OTP sent to my phone was never needed / used. The dealer id overrides the need for a password.
Does Tmobile offer 2FA that isn't SMS based?
