Hi Pilutaq,


It looks like you're receiving a message that your phone number is already connected to an Apple ID when attempting to register iMessage.


To confirm, have you use a different Apple ID in the past? Or have you recently had to change your number, and this is a new one you're attempting to register?


Let us know and we'll continue from there.


Cheers!

Pilutaq,


Thanks for confirming.


If you've recently changed your number, that is likely a contributing factor to the issue. From here, we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly to take a closer look at the situation. You can see contact options below.


Take care.
