iMessage issues

I have recently swapped my iPhone over and changed provider - completed the pac process - my old number has been transferred to my iPhone, but the iMessage shows as the temporary number - I have followed the guidelines to switch off messages and FaceTime in settings and I’m still unable to change the number over ! Any help ??

Alternatively


  1. Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
  2. Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
  3. Restart your device.


Remove the temporary number from https://appleid.apple.com
