Turned off phone

I really need my old phone number to log into my account on apple and other apps but cannot use it since I can’t turn on my phone currently is there any way I can get sms messages from my turn off phone to log into important stuff without having to reactivate the old service.

Why don’t you use your Apple ID ( email ) and password to log in to Apple account?

Ive done my apple log in but on some apps I need my number for a verification and can’t sign in without the code that was sent to my number.

If the app sends a verification text message to your old phone number, you need to have a phone with that old phone number active and connected to the network.  Just knowing your old phone number won’t get you access to the texts sent to that number.
