Deactivate cell number from ipad

I attempted to deactivate a phone number from my ipad but i no longer have access to the iphone While attempting to deactivate per instructions provided by apple, i enter the number and I am supposed to receive a code, but i do not and there is no indication of where this code will be sent to. I have also changed my password per recommendation, but this does not remove the old cell number. This issue prevents me from using my ipad for messages and facetime since i no longer have the cell phone.

iPad, iPadOS 14
