How to upgrade iCloud storage and restore Apple Account access without a device?

Hello,

I am contacting you to urgently request assistance with upgrading my iCloud storage to the 50 GB plan.

Currently, I do not have access to my Apple device (iPhone). Attempting to upgrade the storage via a web browser or another phone using iCloud services does not work either, as I am locked out of my Apple ID account.

I critically need access to my email, but no new messages are loading because my iCloud storage is completely full. This is causing a significant disruption for me.

Could you please help me restore access to my account as a matter of urgency, or provide immediate instructions on how I can complete this storage upgrade given the current situation?

As far as I can tell you can only upgrade if you have some kind of hardware that supports iCloud, even a Windows computer. You cannot do this on the web. Refer to Buy iCloud+ or upgrade your current storage plan - Apple Support

Select your hardware.

As for your account, you do not provide any information as to why you cannot use it other than it is "locked" which can mean many things. I suggest you start with this support article -> If your Apple Account is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support

Since you say you cannot get access to your account, you would have to be signed in somewhere to effect an iCloud upgrade anyway.
