I recently moved to the UK from New Zealand and got a UK phone number. I am transitioning my IPhone to the new number but have hit a snag. When I added my new number to my Apple account I was told that the number was “unavailable for sharing”. I think this is preventing me from sharing apps with family members. What is the problem and what do I do about it?
