Cannot Verify Phone Number

I m unable to add my number in "Contactable at" in the Name, Phone Number, Email section of the Apple ID.


So my younger brother created an Apple ID for himself before me using my number, but later when i created an ID, he removed my mobile number and used his own.


Now when i try to add my number, it says , you cant use this number

iPhone 11, iOS 15

You have contact Apple support and they told you:

'and they told once a number has been registered on one Apple ID, it cant be linked to another, even after delinking from the previous one'

That's what it looks like . . .


May be contact Apple again and ask how much time is needed after delinking from the previous one, you can use your number again.

You may ask for proof from your carrier that that phone number has been assigned to you.
