I recently got an iPad as a gift, but I'm not very tech-savvy and need some help! I currently use an Android phone, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to link them. I can't even create an Apple account because my phone number is tied to my Android account, and it keeps saying it's unavailable. I don't want to use someone else's phone number either. Is there any way for me to use my iPad without signing into an Apple account?

You don’t lose access to your phone number just because it’s linked to your Android device. You can use your own number or an email to set up an Apple account. Just look up how to create an Apple ID online, and you should be fine. Just remember, it’s better not to use someone else's information for your accounts since that can give them control over them.
I tried that already and even created a new email for it. The email works, but when I enter my phone number, it says it's not available right now.
