In all likelihood, you don’t. It’s probably been reported stolen and blacklisted.

Return it and get your money back.

Incorrect phone Number during account recovery Hello, I have recently bought a new phone. I wanted to log into my Apple ID. To log in properly I have to receive either a code or phone call that will allow me to continue. But my ID is attached to my old number to which I have no access. So I’m trying to send a code to my current number. But the problem is that it won’t go through. Apple is saying that the number is incorrect even though it is. I’ve tried it on several devices. I have no other options. I went to different apple services but no one was able to help me. Did someone had the same problem and could help me with this issue. Thank you in advance
