I need to change my Apple ID

Hi, I've changed my Internet provider and I need to change my Apple ID email (now it is like this; "name.title@oldprovider.it"). How can I do? Is it possible?

My old provider will close my email account in a couple of months (so they say).


Thanks

Mac mini (2018)

Contact - Official Apple Support

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.


This page has telephone numbers for contacting Apple for support and service ➔ Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


I also wonder if you could turn off SDP temporarily?


Also check About Stolen Device Protection for iPhone - Apple Support

if it provides any help.

Thanks. I've been trying those methods for hours... all that I get is:


"Change Apple ID

Because Stolen Device Protection is turned on, some of your account information can’t be changed on the web. To change your Apple ID, use your other Apple devices."


I've used my iPhone and my Mac Mini... no success.
