Registering a phone number to an Apple id

We switched providers and it has been 30 days and we received a msg that says: this number is registered to your Apple is but is not associated to this phone. We can continue to use it until it expires. Something seems to be set up wrong on this and need help so we can continue to use iMessage and FaceTime.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hi Smithport,

Wondering if your phone number was changed when you changed providers.


Your Apple ID is the account that you use to access all Apple services,

including iCloud, iTunes, Music, App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, and more.:
