Have you signed out of Messages/FaceTime and then added the phone number to, your Apple ID? After adding the number it could take up to 24 hours to sync. Then sign back into Messages/FaceTime and see if you can use the number.
Messages - If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.
Try a restart.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Try a forced restart.
If necessary
Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup
