I can’t get a temporary phone number off iMessage

i can’t get a temporary number assigned by my carrier off my iMessage. I carried my old phone number but the temporary number will not go away. I’ve tried everything.

Have you tried signing out of Messages/FaceTime and then removing the number from your Apple ID? If you can do that, allow time for the change to sync. It may take 24 hours. Then sign into Messages/FaceTime.
