I use an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I also have an iPhone XS Max and an iPhone 6 connected to my Apple ID. However, the phone number in my 12 Pro Max is not showing in the FaceTime and iMessage settings and it says that activation is unsuccessful. I would highly appreciated any help with regard to this situation. Thank you!
