Picking Up Iphone Messages from Dead IPhone

My 5 month old IPhone's battery died. I tried to get it fixed through Best Buy, but they said the whole system is dead and I have to go to Apple.

It's been four days and I have another three before I can get the two hours to Apple. I am losing a ton of work because every app I work with wants to send a code to my phone! Is there any way to get to these messages? If I buy an IPad (I've been thinking of doing it anyway), can I access my messages without having a working IPhone in front of me?

No, codes are sent via SMS which an ipad isn't capable of getting unless there is an iphone to set up text message forwarding.

Have the code send to your email address.

That is not an option for half a dozen places I work with.

Then you'll need to wait until you get a new phone.
