Why is my Apple ID saying my phone number is invalid?

I've been getting the same message since yesterday evening.

It doesn't make sense because it's the same number that's in my iPhone, iPad, and Macbook. I tried the number again and it's still the same.

The message is indeed correct. If you don't provide a valid phone number for Apple ID verification (it's optional), your account is likely to be rejected. You can still use your iCloud account to restore your device to factory settings, but if the phone number is invalid then you will be required to set a new phone number as soon as possible.

If your phone number was one of the numbers tied to your Apple ID and they have changed, you should get a message indicating so when you go to the web site to change the number. This is the message you get when the phone number provided is not registered with the Apple ID. If you provided the correct number, you won't get any message.

If you want to know what is wrong with your phone number, click on "Accounts", and then on "Change my Apple ID". This will allow you to change your phone number.

Why does it say please enter a valid phone number?

You must enter a valid phone number, because that's what this website uses for its call forwarding service.

How can I get around that? We understand that, sometimes, you need to make a call without having your phone number. We are happy to help. Enter your mobile number in the box below. Or, if you don't have a mobile number, enter an email address instead. We will send you a verification code to get you started.

When you send us an email, we will save your number so you don't have to reenter it when you make a call. You can then use your computer or mobile device to make calls from our website or from any other number you want.

What about the call forwarding service on my phone? If you're using the call forwarding service on your phone, we can send you a text message, email or phone call to let you know if you're not able to receive a call. If you need help with anything else, please send us an email at support@forwardmefast. How do I sign up for call forwarding? You'll need to make sure that your phone number is available for the call forwarding service. For more information on how to set this up, please visit our site dedicated to call forwarding.

What happens if I don't send a text? If you don't send a text, the call forwarding service won't work. If you want us to try to get you set up so that you're ready when you are able to receive calls, we'll need to send you a text message.

How do I update my account? You can access your account at any time by entering the phone number you used to sign up for the service. From there, you can change your preferences for call forwarding and text messaging. You can also cancel the service anytime.

Why can't I log in? We've updated our sign-in process to help make it easier to remember your password. To sign in, enter the phone number you used to sign up for the call forwarding service. I forgot my password. How can I get it back? Go to My Account and enter your phone number.

How do I enter a valid phone number to use as my Apple ID?

For most customers, the easiest way to create a valid Apple ID is to use the phone number associated with your credit card or bank account.

If your phone number is missing or invalid, you can use a different email address or create a new account using the information on your credit card.

To verify the phone number associated with your credit card or bank account, go to Account > View my credit card. On the credit card page, click Edit. Enter the phone number associated with your credit card. Do not use the phone number for any other Apple ID. Do not use a phone number that is no longer valid or no longer assigned to your Apple ID. If you did not receive a text message from Apple verifying your phone number, you need to register for an Apple ID. What if my phone number is missing or invalid? If your phone number is missing or invalid, you can still use your email address to create an Apple ID. You can also create an Apple ID without a valid phone number. If you do not have a valid phone number, you can use an email address to create an Apple ID.

The email address associated with your Apple ID is the email address on your credit card or bank statement. If you are unsure which email address is associated with your Apple ID, you can view your Apple ID settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Do I need to use a different email address than the one associated with my Apple ID? If you don't have a valid phone number and use an email address to create an Apple ID, we suggest that you use a different email address to create a new Apple ID. If you are already using a different email address for an Apple ID, you can continue to use the email address for your Apple ID. However, if your email address changes, you will need to update your Apple ID information on your device.

What if I am using a different email address to create an Apple ID? I lost my Apple ID password. What do I do? If you lost your Apple ID password, you can reset your password.
