Hi hemalmamtora,

are you replacing the old phone number with the new one at the Apple ID page? Manage your Apple account


After you sign in with your Apple ID and password, check all phone number fields to make sure the new number isn't listed anywhere else.


If you are still not able to add your phone number, I'd recommend that you Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Call the number for your location, and let them know what's happening.


Let me know if this helps you!

Do you use / have multiple Apple ID?

You can only link a phone number to one Apple ID.


To verify your Apple ID details:

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.

You are sign in here .  .  .  with your Apple ID & Password.
