Apple account creation SMS code issue

Hello, I'm just trying to create a new Apple account, but it won't let me. I've already tried with 2 different emails and the emails do grab me but when I put the number it gives me an error that it can't receive SMS codes, I've already tried with 4 different numbers and all 4 tell me the same thing

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 26

I have seen one post saying this could be related to an invalid password you are using. Make sure it meets all the requirements.


Failing that, refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page under “Get more help” (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.


This support article has various country telephone numbers for contacting Apple for support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support For some countries look under “Other” listing at the end of the list. Not every country has telephone support, and phone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.
