This phone number has been used too many times. Choose a different number.

Hello! 👋🏻

I have a problem with trying to create an Apple ID ‘cause when I put my Phone Number in to verify, it gives me the Error Message that the Phone Number was used too many times.

And unfortunately, I have used my Phone Number too many times, but there’s a reason why I use my Phone Number every time to verify, whenever I’m creating an Apple ID.

To explain, as I have so many Apple IDs, the reason why I create a whole lot of Apple IDs is ‘cause whenever I get any iPhones to use as iPod Touches or even when I get any iPads as well, etc. (Especially as I’m a huge fan of Apple, for part of, explaining why I get so many Apple iDevices, whenever I have the Money for them…), I create an Apple ID for them, as it’s to cope with iMessage, as if I’m sending something to myself via iMessage, from one iDevice to another, if for example that 2 Apple iDevices are signed in with the same Apple ID, what happens is that if I tap the Send Button to send something over to myself from one Apple iDevice, the other Apple iDevice with the same Apple ID’ll show as sent on that Apple iDevice as well instead of as received ‘cause of where I’ve sent the iMessage from the original Apple iDevice that I’ve sent the iMessage from & that bothers & confuses me a whole lot.

That’s why I create different Apple IDs to cope with iMessage, so that if I’m sending something to myself via iMessage, when I tap the Send Button on the Apple iDevice that I’m sending the iMessage from, all the others’ll show as received ‘cause they’re signed in with a different Apple ID, thus coping with iMessage.

Heck, if I try to use someone else’s Phone Number to verify, whenever I create an Apple ID, that may confuse them, cause them to have a stroke with me, etc. & I don’t want to end up taking that risk ‘cause of that Message.

I do wish that there’d be a way for that kind of problem to be fixed for me to be able to continue using my Phone Number to verify or at least use my Email to verify or otherwise, with the limit set by Apple on how many times the same Phone Number can be used to verify, whenever a new Apple ID is created, I’m unfortunately screwed & that I may have to deal with this same Apple ID on multiple Apple iDevices or the loss of iMessage on some Apple iDevices due to Phone Number usage to verify limit reached problem.
