Cant add phone number to iMessage

I use iphone 6 before i use my new device now. The imessage worked perfectly fine. I can use my phone number as my imessage contact. Recently, i got iphone 7, but I cant use my phone number for imessage. I dont even have option on my “send & receive” tab. I can only use my email for imessage. I already add my phone number in my apple id for contact to be reached at, but I still cant see the phone number option. What do i do? I want to use my phone number for imessage

In some versions iOS the Contacts app appears in separate click/file and then you may be

able to change settings; or use a different apple device or mac to change the Contact in

a linked macOS or iOS system. These are shared in Cloud, you may(?) look in to change it.


Hadn't had much problem, across several vintage iOS and macOS / X products.

Some versions were a bit more difficult than others to locate & change info.
