Getting the Phone Number Changed...

Contact Apple Support:

Ask the Apple Rep to modify it over the phone. If permitted to do so, they'd would proceed with assisting you with modifying the Phone Number associated to your Apple Account, to what it should be. Important: Perform a Trial & Error login session with the Apple Rep prior to ending the phone call.

  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
