Setting up iPad 11 for child - invalid number

Hi. I’m setting up iPad 11 for a child when I get to the step to confirm my telephone number for 2 factor authentication, the number is pre-populated but when I confirm it shows message - number invalid. The number and location match my set up on my Apple ID & my phone. How can this be resolved??

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Ipad is looping at two factor verification when setting up child account I'm setting up my daughter's new iPad - when I attempt to set it up for her (she's under 12), at my login screen it's looping between the username/password and two factor authentication. I enter the username and password, get a code on my (Android) phone, enter it, and to takes me back to username/password. It's related 10 times, any ideas? Update: Now I have reached the code limit. I think I'm going to take this thing back.
