Can I create a 3rd iCloud account using the same phone number? After 50 days

Hello Apple Support,


I would like to know whether it is allowed to create a third iCloud (Apple ID) account using the same phone number.


I have already created two Apple IDs using this phone number.

After some time, Aftet 50 days can I create a third Apple ID with the same number, or are there any limits or restrictions?


Please provide official guidance.


Thank you.

I have not seen anywhere where Apple says you cannot use a telephone number with multiple accounts, but I have seen others (who are users just like you and me) post here saying you cannot. Because family members may share a telephone, to me it would not make sense that a telephone number could not be used by multiple accounts. However, in this world things do not have to make sense. I would say just try, and if you cannot then you have your answer.

Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page under “Get more help” (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you. For chat, you can also try using the Apple Support App —> https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-support/id1130498044


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.
