Messages is working with your email address, but not your phone?

Have you added the phone number?

Messages or FaceTime - Add or remove your phone number

Have you changed/added 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.
