iPhone XR won’t save my number to send and receive messages.

I am trying to set up my daughter’s XR and it will not register her number. It keeps spinning when I try to add her number for messaging, FaceTime, and calls. I have called my service provider 3 times and no luck.

iPhone XR

How do I resolve issues with sending and receiving text on Messages on iPhone? I've had some issues with my Message App for a while now, I've been trying to send messages to my family but it keeps saying it wasn't sent and I've tried everything humanly possible, from resetting it, to checking for updates, to even turning off iMessage to see if that would do anything, I've been trying to set up a new google account to replace my old one and it jeeps asking for my phone number to send a code, but sadly i never receive it, in other words i cant send nor can i receive Messages. What can i do? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: I Require Assistance

Phone Number isn’t working Hello, I installed the latest update for IOS17.4 and when it finished my phone number would constantly be loading, and my messages were going through green. so i attempted re-adding it in facetime and messages now to find out i can’t put it back at all. when i got into ‘phone’ in settings there’s an option for ‘my number’ i type in my number and press ‘save’ but nothing happens i just stay on the same screen. And in apple id settings it says the phone isn’t registered with the sim or device even tho it’s been the same since before the update. someone please help

Cannot send messages on phone (non-iPhone) with same mobile number as iPhone Hello, (I came here because iPhone tends to cause issues with SIMs.) I have a second phone (Nokia 6300 4g) that I wish to use for my day-to-day usages, I would not like to change phone number if possible. However, I am totally unable to send messages. I can give and receive calls, but am unable to send or receive messages. I have turned off iMessage, but that does not work either. I can't find a solution online.
