First make sure your SIM card with your new phone number is in your iPhone.


Go to:

Settings -> Apple ID (Your Name) -> Name, Phone Numbers, Email.

Press Edit, add your new phone number if it has not already been registered.


After, go to:

Settings -> Messages. Activate iMessage and check that your new number is in the Send & Receive menu.
