I cannot verify my iPad's phone number

Whenever a verification code is sent, it does not go through. The only device linked to the number is my iPad because it has its own number. Without verifying the number, I cannot use the number to make calls or text people. However, it very much exists and is listed the iPad's information, only not verified.

Although your cellular iPad has an assigned phone number, it is not able to use the voice channel of your carrier's service. This manes no voice calls or SMS texting.


It can't be verified as a trusted phone number for 2FA verification codes.
