You need to change/add the number on your Apple ID. After the change, allow up to 24 hours for the change to sync. Before trying to make the change, sign out of Messages/FaceTime.

Apple ID - Manage

You are welcome. It should be okay as far as I know. Have you tried sending from the number to see if it works?

Has she created a card for you in her Contacts app that includes your phone number?
