Keep seeing "Your account cannot be created at this time." when trying to create a new Apple ID and join a team on. Tried from web/macOS, same error. I am fairly certain that they identify me by the cellphone number. Any way I can join the dev team with a new company account with existing cellphone number?
That's a somewhat vague catch-all message that Apple has started using. It unfortunately does not ell you what is wrong, just that there's something they don't like or is missing.
I don't see that everybody in the world has to have their own unique telephone number, so until I see a statement from Apple saying you absolutely must, the field is still open as to the problem.
Are you using your number as an Apple ID, or an email address? They do appear to require a unique email address for an Apple ID.
For a generic, numeric, vague, or unknown "error" messages I suggest you contact Apple.

Limnos, I have used a company provided email to sign up. I think the problem is that I have already used the same cellphone number to create a few distinct Apple IDs in the past. As a workaround, it's possible to log-in with an old Apple ID and change the email associated with it. Then you can join the new team, and leave the old one.
