Hi there supermario3D1,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are having an issue adding your phone number to your Apple ID. If you are using that phone number on a friend or family member’s Apple ID, it may not allow you to add it to your own account. See more here: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID.


If you have more questions or concerns, reach out to Apple directly here: Get Support.


We hope this helps!
