My iPhone has refused to enter my contact number on my phone but it’s working well on my MacBook. I’ve followed all the steps recommended to resolve but nothing has changed.

Hey there ManirajSinghUdawat,


We'd like to help by providing an article that shows what to try next to resolve issues with activating iMessage: If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone


If the issue remains after trying those steps, we recommend letting Apple Support know what's been tried as they'll be in the best position to assist further: Get Support


Cheers!
