If I recall correctly, there is nothing you can do about that. You will need to create the Apple ID on another device then log into the phone with it.

  • Do you have a VPN installed on your iPhone? If so, uninstall it as simply turning it off may not solve that problem. Restart your phone after removal.
  • If on WiFi, reset your router or try using Cellular instead to see if it is related to your WiFi connection.
