on. In the Settings app, tap Messages. Turn iMessage off and then back on. Tap Send & Receive. Tap the phone number that you want to use with Messages. If you have issues when you try to receive a FaceTime call after you set up a new device, you can also update your FaceTime settings., If you try to send a message and you see with an alert that says Not Delivered, follow these steps: Check your network connection. Tap , then tap Try Again. If you still can’t send the message, tap , then tap Send as Text Message ...

There is a circling circle by my phone number. Is that what the problem is to why I am not getting text messages?

Text message is a phone carrier feature, contact yours to resolve the issue.
