My phone number not option in Message available options

After using Airport mode, my number does not appear on the available options under Send and Receive for messages on 14 Pro. This means that when I edit and add the number the verification code allowing it isn't available because I can't receive messages on my phone. Any ideas?

Cannot receive Whatsapp verification code via SMS or Voice Call on iPhone I don't receive a verification code via SMS after downloading Whatsapp, and when trying the voice call method it routinely asks me to "enter 9 to receive verification code" and when I do the call goes dead (beep beep). iPhone 15 Pro with T-mobile - I receive all SMS and voice calls from others just fine. T-mobile reset my network settings to no avail, and I've read countless online support/suggestions to no avail. I'm getting the canned responses from Whatsapp support. Any ideas? I thought maybe forcing the "voice call" option to voice mail might have them provide it to me automatically but the voice mail stops after it asks me the same thing when I'm on the phone, "enter 9 to receive verification code." Can't understand why this particular SMS verification isn't coming through…

New iPhone won't verify phone number to send and receive iMessages Hello - used Quickstart to set up a new iPhone 12 from a iPhone 8. Everything worked properly and transferred except for iMessages. New phone is stuck on verifying my phone number for sending and receiving messages. Verifying icon for number spins for infinity. Any ideas?

This is something you'll want to reach out to your provider for. They will be able to assist you in getting your phone number listed and available in iMessage again.
