I recently changed mobile network, but I kept my old number with a Pac code. For now able to use my transferred number but i-Phone now warning that it will soon be removed from I-Phone account. Temporary number still showing on Settings - Phone - My Number, and it won't accept a change to this.
I've seen a similar thread but didn't help in my case.
Any suggestions?
John.
iPhone 6s, iOS 14
Tried faffing around a bit and seems to be sorted now:-
Settings - Messages - Send & Receive -
Display showed i-Cloud account username (with blue tick) and TEMPORARY mobile number (no blue tick),
Tapped on TEMPORARY mobile number, display then (after a while) updated to show i-Cloud account username (with blue tick) and the (old) mobile number I'm keeping (also with blue tick).
Correct number then displayed in Settings - Phone - My Number.
Happy Days!
Hope this helps you.
