When I try to create a new Apple ID, I get the message: “It’s not possible to create an account with this number at the moment.”
I’ve tried using different phone numbers, but it still doesn’t work. However, I can still log in to my old Apple ID account.
What should I do?
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26

Sounds like you're trying to use VoIP or shared phone numbers; neither of those are accepted for new Apple accounts.
Unless you have a very special reason for creating a second Account you should stick with one.
Read this support article about Apple Account Frequently Asked Questions --> https://account.apple.com/faq
"How many Apple Accounts do I need?
Just one. Use the same Apple Account everywhere you sign in to ensure that all your Apple services and devices work together seamlessly and you can access your personal information from all your devices.."
Why can't I create a new Apple ID account?
