Please do not include your personal details such as your phone number in your questions. If you HAVE to then censor your number. As that could be a security risk. This is a public platform. And who knows there might be a bad person here who might do lord knows what to your number.
As for adding trusted phone number, open Settings, then Apple Account, then contact information, then add a phone number.
Hope this helps! Stay safe, take care of yourself.
