You can also create a separate signup form to target already email subscribers (create segment-based signup form) to collect their phone numbers.
Segment conditions:

To target your segment, select it next to “Show to visitors in certain lists and segments.”
Campaign:
Ask your subscribers to join your SMS subscriber family for quick updates, exclusive offers, instant communication, and more.
Before your new arrival, ask your email subscribers to provide their phone numbers, so they can be the first to know about the new arrival.
Flow:
You can leverage highly engaged flows such as the welcome flow, abandon checkout flow, abandon cart flow, thank you flow, and browse abandon flow to ask your subscribers for their phone numbers, allowing them to receive exclusive deals and updates promptly.
