Couldn't create Apple ID: You cannot use this phone number at this time.
I've tried several times but every time a message pops up, it displays that this phone number cannot be used.
How can I resolve this issue?

“At this time" is a recent and unfortunately somewhat non-specific Apple catch-all error message. It could mean that you cannot connect to the Apple service you need to use, or it could mean there is something wrong in your information entry (but it doesn't tell you what exactly), and once you correct that, _then_ it is the right time. ;-)
Check if the problem is at Apple’s end of things and if there’s an issue with Apple's servers: Apple - Support - System Status
Check what you are doing is valid (such as when creating an account all your information is consistent for the country in which you are creating the account) and has all the information required. Confer with Apple's documentation about the action you are trying to do. If you still have problems, contact official Apple Support:

If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
