I accidentally entered the wrong phone number for sms verification, but it won't let me change it because a pending sms verification already exists.

Your best bet at this point is to try eqemulator.org's SMS verification system. Login to eqemulator.org (if you don't know your eqemulator.org account info, you can recover it here), then click the SMS Verification link in the left pane.

Conversely, if you've already registered a number at eqemulator.org and you no longer use that number, your best bet is to try project1999.com's SMS verification system. Login to project1999.com (if you don't know your project1999.com account info, you can recover it here), then click the SMS Verification link in the left pane.

I believe the eqemulator.org and project1999.com SMS verification systems operate independently and use their own separate databases for storing phone numbers, but they're similar in that they're both one-off systems - there's no way to reset or change the phone number they keep on record once you've registered one.

I tried to skip sms verification, but it won't let me until the sms verification expires. How long does it take for the sms verification to expire?

Not sure here, but I'd give it at least 24 hours.

So as a rule of thumb - and this should probably be emphasized in the Getting Started Guide - don't register an SMS verification number until you absolutely have to, so that when that time comes you'll be able to enter the number you currently use or enter a third party SMS number and get your account information back right away.
