iMessage issue after porting my number

Hi, so I moved network and the number ported over at 9am Monday morning, I got a text at 10am to say the port was complete. But when I send iMessages or try FaceTime it’s using the temp number I was giving. When I go into messages in the setting the temp number and my email are the only things showing, the number that I’m keeping isn’t there! Anybody know how I fix this? I’ve done a soft reset (with iMessage and FT turned off) and I reset network settings and I’ve turned off iMessage and FT and turned the phone off for 5-10 mins and still nothing. I have contacted the new network provider and they say because the port is showing as complete, they can’t do anything! Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Hello iMessage_issue_after_porting.


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


If I'm understanding correctly, you are having some trouble with activating iMessage and FaceTime since porting your phone number to a new carrier. I will be glad to assist.


Please see the following resources for some steps that can help resolve this:
