Не удается привязать номер телефона к Apple ID: уже используется (I can’t link the phone number in the “Login and Security” section)

Не получается привязать номер телефона в разделе "Вход и безопасность" система говорит, что номер уже используется с другим аккаунтом

I can’t link the phone number in the “Login and Security” section — the system says the number is already in use with another account.

If you recently got this phone number from your carrier and have never used it with Apple before, the previous owner likely forgot to unlink it from their account.

Wait out the system: Apple typically forces a 30-day "cooling off" window after an account goes inactive, after which another user can associate that phone number with a different account for Messages and FaceTime.
Contact Apple Support: If the number remains completely locked and you have no way of accessing the underlying account, you will need to contact Apple Support directly. Be prepared to provide a mobile carrier bill proving that you are the current legal owner of the phone number.
