my phone number does not work for iMessage nor FaceTime

I got a new phone number with Telcel in meico and when I try to select it for iMessage and FaceTime it keeps "buffering" the number and never fully selects it, only my email for my Apple ID works. I added my phone number to my Apple ID but still no luck


iPhone 11

Hi jdilauro,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Re: my phone number does not work for iMessage nor FaceTime


Wondering if you removed the old phone number ok.

and

which iOS version you have installed on your iPhone 11.

(Eg: Some apps work best with the most recent iOS version.)


See if Apple Support's article below helps:

Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support


All the best :-)
