All of a sudden, my iMessages and FaceTime will not recognize my phone number to add it because whatever happened it was taken out. I also cannot iMessage to androids.

Original Title: Imessage
iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 18
Hello!
Start here: If you can’t turn on or sign in to iMessage or FaceTime on your iPhone - Apple Support
Note: you cannot send iMessages to non-Apple devices. iMessage is an Apple feature, and only works between Apple devices.
Have a great day!
