How do I add my phone number to iMessage and FaceTime after it was removed?

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.

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!
