Messages is stuck with the old phone number

I changed my phone service provider while retaining my old number. I had a temporary phone number for 5 days and I made the error to register it with Messages. When the new phone service provider received my old number Messages from Iphone 7 plus remained stuck with the temporary number. What can I do?
