Hi. Just bought a new iPhone SE 128gb for my wife. She's been using a Nokia 6300 and never had a smart phone before! Therefore she hasn't got an Apple ID. I'm just setting up the phone for her and the first problem is when I enter her iCloud email address a message appears ' Your Apple ID could not be created because [email protected] is no longer available. Please choose a new one'. I then realised that she doesn't have an email account but i have her email address as an alias on my account so that her emails can be received on my devices (she's not into tech). So I've removed the alias on my email account but I still get the message, so can't set-up an Apple ID for her using her current email address. Can anyone help with ideas for my next move? Thank you.
