You are not required to have a second phone number for 2FA. Read this link about it --> Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support


I would not stop trying to set it up as the poster above suggests. There are many services which require 2FA and it's advisable for you to set it up.


You can also call Apple for help with this if you need more guidance. If in the US, call 800-MY-APPLE
