If you are using your mobile phone number as an email address?

Or if using the mobile number, as your Apple ID? See if this helps:


"If your Apple ID is a phone number.."

You can change your Apple ID to a different mobile phone number.

That said, in a different part of same article, may yield more/better

"Since there isn't an email address associated with a phone number-based

your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and appleid.apple.com." And read further..

..From beginning to end of this same mobile phone number article..


Not sure if that's at all helpful. ~ But it may.
