I have just moved from Telstra to Vodafone in Australia. This was Friday. Although my phone number appears on my Apple ID account it does not appear as an option to use for iMessage.
Turned off, logged out, iMessage on and off, WIFI on, WIFI off. Pretty much everything else listed on the forums but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks
iPhone 7, 14
I found the problem. Settings > phone > My Number …… it was empty. Filled it in and iMessage had the number available.

Hi there Pieinoz,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to select your phone number as a contact option in iMessage, and we'd be happy to provide you with the best steps.
To get started, check out the steps listed in the following resource under the "If you can't see or select your number in Messages or FaceTime" section that can help with this specific issue: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support
If still having issues after those steps, the next best option would be to reach out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support - Apple
Take care!
