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 on all devices/computers.


Apple ID - Manage    


If the number is on your Apple ID, try signing out of Settings/Messages and Settings/FaceTime. Then restart the phone. Then sign back in and test.
