Update it on your Apple ID? 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.

Changing incorrect number - found wrong number in Settings, then down to Phone Hello, Can anyone help please? I recently changed my provider to Virgin but asked for existing number to remain. That appears to have worked. However, when I make a call from contacts, it says "dial assist" and does not dial out. I also checked in Settings, under my name and my number is correct there. But, when in Settings and I scrolled down to Phone, where it says My Number, the original number is showing from the Virgin sim and not my old number. Tried to amend and save it but it reverts to Virgin number again.
