Apple ID without cell phone number

Hi there, I only use iPad and Macbook due to disability. Is there a way to create Apple ID without phone number? I live in the Assisted Living facility. I would be grateful if anyone can help me. Many thanks. Sari

Hello sari261,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would like to create an Apple ID without using your phone number. We're happy to help. You can create an Apple ID with an email address. "In China mainland, you might be required to provide a +86 phone number for your Apple ID. You can change the number later, or change your country or region to a location that doesn't require it. This number is only used for verification purposes."
