Family sharing problem

When i try to add a child account at family sharing on my iMac, an old phone number appears where Apple send a SMS code for verification.


  • This number is since 3 years not in my account anymore! How is this possible?
  • I cannot finalise the child account because i do not receive an sms on the number that is in my account



How to solve this?
