Changing my phone number

hey, I’ve recently changed my phone number but it’s not changing on iMessage. I tried everything; network reset, turning it off and on but it’s not working! So please any tips of how to change my phone number on iMessage and FaceTime?

On your iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is on. You might need to wait a moment for it to activate.
  2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see “Use your Apple ID for iMessage,” tap it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch.
  3. In the "You can receive iMessages" section, make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected.
  4. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected in the "You can be reached at" section.

On your other devices, you can now turn on the phone number that you just set up:
