If you need an Apple ID that is an email address
The Apple ID you use to set up iCloud must be an email address, such as amy_frost44@yahoo.com or cynthia.fong@icloud.com. If your Apple ID isn’t an email address, you can change it by signing in to your Apple ID account page.
Note: In some locations, you can use a phone number instead of an email address as your Apple ID. See the Apple Support article Use your mobile phone number as your Apple ID.
