Same problem, apple keeps asking me whether my number is up to date. I answer yes.
Have re-entered the same number in the same format, hopefully that solves this problem.

Apple ID Phone number review, so we live on Norfolk Island which is part of Australia. You fly there from Australia thru the International Airport. Our postcode is 2899. We have the same Phone country Code as Antarctica +672 When I go to change my Apple ID Phone number from my old number when we lived on the mainland, I tap on +672 then our region code which is 3 then my mobile number which on Norfolk Island is only 5 digits. It won’t accept it. There’s about 2000 residents on the island. Any fixes would be appreciated. I could put in one of my kids numbers on the mainland but that’s not ideal.

I was in the mountains with intermittent connection when I got this message. After I got it I could no longer call home, but luckily I could call other numbers. It wanted me to connect to the Internet, yeah no Internet service way out there. I’ll print off these directions for future reference.
And it went away at some point on the way home and then I could call home again.

But this is a “BUG” that needs fixed.

In reply to Moderne Watson.

Hi Moderne,

Is this issue with your own phone number(s) or with your friends/family/associates in the Contacts App?

If this happens across many contacts, try to change the regional settings on your iPhone to your current country: Settings > General > Language & Region > Region > your home country.

If it’s already showing your home country, try changing it to something else and then change it back–this forces it to refresh these regional settings.

Hope that works for you, if not let us know

Liz

I can’t edit phone numbers or add to contact list examples: (35)123456, that’s how it looks!?

In reply to Jean hart. Hi Jean, Sorry to hear about your husband--I hope his health improves. To reach someone at Apple via phone, please call this number for the United States 1-800-275-2273 (for any other country or region, click this link for those phone numbers) Before you call, have your serial number ready for your iPad--find that in the Settings App, choose General, and then tap About. When you are on the call, let them know this is regarding your Apple ID and problems associated with the Apple ID. Best of luck Jean! Liz

I’m a senior citizen and have a husband who is ill. This tablet has been a lifesaver for me. These are too many instructions for me to keep up with. If anyone at Apple can help me get my tablet functioning again, I will be eternally grateful. It started this a.m. with me not receiving emails. Now I have this message about review Apple ID phone number.
