Someone else using my number on his Apple ID and I can’t add my number to my account. What should I do

Original Title: phone number
iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 26
This usually means your phone number was associated with an Apple Account and whoever had the number, never reregistered it from their Apple Account.
You'll need to contact Apple Support directly and see if they can deregister the number so you can use it with your Apple Account --> Contact - Official Apple Support
If you are in the US, you can call Apple at: 800-MY-APPLE

Contact your phone company and first verify that the phone number is actually assigned to you. Then you can notify Apple that the number belongs to you.
