Open Apple Account
Go to account creation, or Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Two-Factor Authentication.

Tips for Costa Rica numbers
- After +506, Costa Rica mobile numbers begin with 6, 7, 8 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.20 for Apple Account, against $0.29 here.
- Your App Store country is tied to payment and address, not the phone number.
Why use a Costa Rica number for Apple Account?
Day-to-day life in Costa Rica runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Apple Account remains the app for an Apple Account with a trusted number from the country. A +506 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Retirees and expats: North American retirees in Escazú, Atenas and the Guanacaste coast use a +506 number to deal with landlords, clinics and utilities.
Apple two-factor authentication depends on a trusted phone number for the life of the account.
