Need to receive text but phone is broken.
My phone has been offline for a little while now. My service is active till the 22nd of this month. I need to receive some text from Google for two step verification purposes and I don't plan on staying with at&t prepaid any longer. I have a $10 balance on my account that I can activate a $2 daily plan with so I can text if possible. What can I do? I also have a ZTE AT&T Tablet that is not associated with my prepaid. I've tried adding my prepaid sim card to it but couldn't find a way to sync the number. Please help this broken phone has been a big issue with my Google accounts.

You need a working phone to receive texts with the $2 daily plan. It won’t work on a tablet.

I will “ditto” @sandblaster answer. You also can only receive on your phone, 2 step does not even mirror to ATT messages.
You will have to at least borrow an ATT phone long enough to get the code.
The phone number is critical and must be active to port out (so by the 22nd).
