iPhone 14 Pro sending texts from the wrong number after carrier transfer

My iPad won't receive texts So, my iPad has it's own sim card with it's own number but it sends and receives texts from my iPhone number. I use 2 different carriers for the iPad and iPhone. The carrier I have for my iPad sim card has recently been merged with another carrier. They are saying they've sent me texts about certain account details which I am not receiving. Whenever I ask them to resend the texts, nothing happens. It's almost as if the number assosciated with my iPad sim card doesn't exist. I've tried adding it to the list of contactable numbers in settings but it sends a verification code to your number which, obviously, I am not receiving. I don't know if I've explained that very well, rather frustrated at the moment, but if anyone could help me to seperate the 2 numbers so that my iPad works seperately to my iPhone, I would very much appreciate it! Thanks

I do not receive IM sent from 5 or 6 digit numbers on my new iPad Air. The iPhone is fine Just received my iPad Air gen 5. All transferred and is working but I do not receive any of the IM sent fro 5 or 6 digit numbers. The iPhone receives everything fine. It is just the iPad that is not receiving these type of texts.

Hello!

Perhaps your carrier would be best able to assist you with this?
