Changing the my FaceTime number

I am using an iPhoneX. I want to change the number that is used for FaceTime to a different one. Now the tricky part is that, the sim card of the new number is in a different phone.

is there a way to use that number for FaceTime without necessarily inserting the sim of the intended number in the iPhone device?

iPhone X, iOS 16

Hello Muyixone,


It looks like you've had the opportunity to review the related article above: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support


Per that resource:


To set up a phone number to use with Messages or FaceTime, you need an active SIM or eSIM associated with that number.


So you would need to insert the associated SIM card to complete that process.


Should you have any further concerns, don't hesitate to let us know.


Take care.
