My mobile phone number as a payment method at not my Apple ID

Hellow Experts!

My phone number (the primary one on my AppleID account) is linked as a payment method to someone else's account, which I don't have access to. How can I remove my number from their account and stop the charges? My mobile operator says I need to contact Apple. Help!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18

Removing phone number (payment method) from account/device I no longer have access to I let someone use my number temporarily as payment method so they could download an app. Apparently Apple doesn't let you download even free apps without any payment method. I had them use my number because the OTP would not come through her number. The day after, they suddenly left town and I can't contact them anymore lol I have access to their gmail account and lately I've been getting notifications regarding their subscriptions/renewals. I just want to remove my number as payment method from their account, but I don't have access to it. Is that possible? Additional question: What will happen if the renewal date for her subscriptions come? I assume the payments will not go through because my phone number's balance is low anyway (please correct me if I'm wrong). Thank you.

Can Apple customer service provide details of an unauthorized purchase using my credit card? Hi everyone last Friday I woke up on multiple sms that I used my card to purchase from Apple.com/bill which I don’t, is it possible for Apple to provide the information what account was it used and where ?

Options for stopping future Apple Wallet payments I ordered something from a company that is not responding to any customer service messages and now I’m reading it’s a scam company. I’m concerned they have made my order a subscription and will continue to charge me every month. What are my options in my Apple Wallet? Can I change the card number? Similar to canceling a debit card and ordering a new one? I don’t see a way to do that from my phone.

This support article has various country telephone numbers for contacting Apple for support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support For some countries look under “Other” listing at the end of the list. Not every country has telephone support, and phone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.
