Texting through icloud email

My phone will only send text messages through my icloud email and I've tried to fix it by going to messages > send & receive but my phone number does not show up as an option, then I tried deleting my number from my icloud and re-adding it but when I tried I never got the text message with the confirmation number.

  • (Sidebar) Click Personal Information -> Reachable at -> then edit / update your trusted phone number.

 

Then try again to send a text message.
