1. You get a Call In Live Activity and the Caller is not identified (does not exist in the system).
2. Choose New Contact Hyperlink in order to create a contact.
3. The pop up window has the Account field in disabled mode for manual entry.

Therefore Search or Create Account is not possible.

Currently this is the expected system behavior that the Account will not be enabled for search or manual entry on the New Contact pop up window on Live Activity Pane.

1. You get a Call In Live Activity and the Caller is not identified (does not exist in the system).
2. Before choosing the New Contact hyperlink, In the Callers field you search for the Account ABC (ABC represents the Account ID) to which you want to associate the incoming phone call as Contact.
3. Search results appear in the drop down list below the Caller field.
4. Select the account from the list, hover over to find the Tick Mark towards the right side of the Account ABC and click on it once.
5. Select the New Contact hyperlink to create a contact.
6. In the pop up window the Account ABC that you chose above is displayed.

This way you can associate the New contact to an existing Account when you receive a phone call.
