From googling it sounds like one method is to just go to a store with fake ID, I guess report the phone lost and have them move the info to a new sim and phone.
I added the passcode, but didn't get the text about it till like 8:30 this morning, so I called to make sure that was for my change and not a different one. The guy assured me more than once they could help me change it if I forgot it. WTF? The whole point is to add security, not help me get around security.
Even on their website it says the extra code will be used "at some stores". So there are stores where they don't verify with that code? That's like securing your home by locking SOME of the doors and windows. Dumbasses.
Did it show you having no service on your phone? That's apparently how you find out this has happened, b/c they move the account to the new sim, the old one stops working.
