Phone number being used by an account that isn't me

I am trying to add a second phone number to my Apple ID and it says it is connected to another account. How do I find out what account it is attached to? It is a number we have had since 1990 as it use to be our land line number. Thanks!

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

I would ask Apple about that. I would be very surprised if one couldn't have a number associated with more than one account. Some families still share a telephone number.

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
