''This phone number is already in use with another account''

Im trying to add my new mobile number to Apple but keep getting the message "This phone number is already in use with another account". Apple support says to remove the old number by deregistering it thru iMessage. That didnt work. So now what?

I got a new number. How do I get apple to recognize it I recently switched companies and had to get a new number. My new phone won’t recognize my new number for iMessages because for some reason my apple account still recognizes the old number even tho it is deactivated. I’ve deleted the number from the account but it still won’t change. Any help?
