I just turned on my new iPhone 14 and the text messaging and the ability to make or receive calls is not working. I've gone through all the steps in the support but nothing is working. I think the problem is my phone number isn't showing in my Apple account, but I can't add my phone number because I can't get a text message or phone call to receive the call. I'm now locked out of a lot of websites and apps because i can't receive the code to unlock.

Your new phone needs to be activated by your phone carrier in order to user their features, so contact yours.
