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?

Have you changed the number in your Apple ID? Allow time for the change to sync, then sign out of Messages/FaceTime and back in.
