Apple Business enrollment phone verification codes not sent

Question

Apple Business enrollment phone verification codes not sent

I'm enrolling our organisation in Apple Business at business.apple.com/signup/create. Email verification works successfully using our company email address, but phone verification fails with the message: “Verification codes cannot be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later.” I have already waited three days and the error persists. Please check whether there is a restriction on the phone number or on the Apple Business enrollment.

Mac mini, macOS 15.7

Try this

Switch to Incognito and a Different Browser: If you are using Chrome, switch to Safari or Firefox. Open a completely fresh Incognito/Private window to clear any cached errors from your previous attempts.

Change Your Network Connection: Disconnect from your corporate Wi-Fi or office network. Connect your computer to a mobile hotspot (4G/5G) instead. This changes your external IP address, which frequently bypasses Apple's automated network flags.

Try a Different Mobile Number: If you are currently using a corporate landline or VoIP number, try using a clean, personal mobile number or a colleague's mobile phone just to pass this step. Note: You can easily change this to your official corporate number inside the portal once the enrollment is approved.

WheelieNick, you are awesome! This worked for me.

I used a different laptop, private browser, and mobile hotspot.

Thank you so much!
