helloo, i am switching out my iphone xr and inputting all my info into my new iphone 12 pro. When i text people they get it from my email instead of my number & when i go to setting and scroll down to imessage and facetime it says “waiting for activation” & i press on the tab and it has my email and phone number and my phone number is loading & “verifying” but i don’t understand what it’s verifying ? & i already deleted my old phone 😬
