You may need to contact Apple about this. To me it sounds like you used a telephone number as an Apple ID before. I know that Apple will not let you re-use an email address that was previously used with another account, but I don't know if that then makes the telephone number invalid for use for any other purpose.

If the presented options do not resolve your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
