| iphone invalid phone number error |
One
iPhone users reported this as
“I’m
trying to change my expired credit card details but the system keeps saying
invalid phone number. tried to put number with and without country code same
error message”
It
seems like the iPhone doesn't accept new phone number as a trusted number. The
users are getting error message “Invalid Phone Number This phone number is invalid. Enter a new
phone number and try again.” This looks like software glitch in the latest iOS
12 version where iPhone user can’t add or update phone number or credit card
info. The issue is seen almost of types of iPhone models including iPhone XS
Max, XR and 8 /7 Plus running on iOS 12.

I
added a new method of payment instead of editing the existing one. When I
scrolled down, my number was already entered in this format:

No
sure why but '-' makes the number valid
Fix
3: Update to latest iOS version
This
could be a software bug in iOS 12.4 and Apple is generally release permanent fix
for such issues in upcoming releases of iOS. iPhone should always be update to
latest version for a permanent fix for such issues. iOS 13 is expected to
