If they port your number to another phone, your phone stops working. You would need to be a complete dumbass to get in this situation.

Finally since you requested the code be sent and that operation typically takes a split second, you would have to forget you did so and not realize it never came up on your phone, all the while your phone is no longer active regardless. Can it happen? Sure? If your a moron.
