A verification code is not sent to a new phone number when you try to add it because Apple first sends the security check to your already trusted devices or existing trusted numbers to prove you own the account.
Try this
Check your current trusted devices: Look at your other logged-in Apple devices (like your main iPhone, iPad, or Mac). A pop-up notification with the code often appears there automatically.
Tap "Didn't get a verification code?": On the screen where it asks for the code, tap this option.
Choose another way: Select the option to send a text message or make a phone call to one of your existingtrusted phone numbers.
Turn off VPN: If you are using a VPN app on your phone, turn it off completely, as it can block Apple’s verification servers.
Wait and try again: If you hit a temporary rate limit or error, wait 8 to 24 hours before trying to add the number again.
