The phone number is assigned by the mobile phone carrier.

You’ll need to establish service (either pre-paid or post-paid) w/ a mobile carrier, and they will “provision” your iPhone with a number via a SIM or eSIM.

You can then “update” this new phone number as needed on your AppleID and w/ various Apple services.

Example:

Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support
