My phone number that was registered with Apple has not worked for months. Lately my ipad2 seemed sick, like its operating system was compromised. So two days ago I restored the operating system and tried to connect to Apple to download anything Apple or I might have saved before the restore. Because my old phone number no longer exists I can't get a text with a verification code. The iPad now works much better but I can't figure out how to connect with Apple. Googling has not been successful. I know this must be a simple fix. Do I need to just call Apple to get things straightened out?

Thank you for any help.
