iPhone 6 phone number change

I recently got a new number and have a working T-Mobile account. I can send and receive messages and calls. Except for my old number (which is now being used by one of my family members) whenever I click on her contact and send a message, the message name shows up as me. But when I go to my contact it shows my number. For some reason In messages it is showing my old number is me but everywhere else it is correct. I have checked iCloud and messages and calls in settings and they are all set to my new number. It’s only when I message my old number it says: Me


thanks

When you changed numbers, did you turn off iMessage and turn it back on with the new SIM with the new number in your phone? You need to ensure you activate the new number in iMessage and check the Send & Receive settings.
