Link cellphone number to Apple-ID

Greetings!

We appreciate your post in the Apple Support Community. If your mobile number has 11 digits and you are encountering difficulty linking it to your Apple ID, here are a few steps you can try:

Ensure that you are entering the correct country code for Germany before your mobile number. The country code for Germany is +49. Enter your mobile number without any leading zeros. It should be in the format +49123XXXXXXX.

If you are still facing issues, it's recommended to contact Apple Support directly. They can assist you in resolving account-related issues and guide you through the necessary steps. Apple often provides alternative contact methods, such as email addresses, for Apple ID verification. Check if there is an option to verify your identity using your email. If all else fails, consider visiting an Apple Store or an authorized service provider. They may be able to assist you in person with the verification process.

Remember that for security reasons, Apple has specific requirements for phone number formats associated with Apple IDs. If the issue persists, reaching out to Apple Support will be the most effective way to resolve it.

For English speakers, we have a dedicated community right here: discussions.apple.com. Since your message is in English, we warmly invite you to join us in that community.
