Obstacle to verifying phone number for new Apple Business account
I am trying to set up an account for Apple Business Manager for use in managing Apples devices in MS Intune. I give the requested information, but each time experience failure at the point of getting a text message with code to be entered to verify the phone number. When the “enter the code” screen appears, there’s a message in red, reading, “Verification codes can’t be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later.”
I waited a couple minutes, tried again. Same result. Went back to previous page, put in different phone #. Same result. Am frustrated at this seemingly inappropriate, unnecessary obstacle to completing a mandatory task. Anyone know the fix?
