Why will it not let me use my phone number on FaceTime and iMessage? It's only letting me use my email address

When I try to select my phone number as a way of FaceTiming and to iMessage me, it is blanked out in a light grey and will not let me select it as an option so I can only be contacted by my email but this isn't how I want to be contacted. Please help?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.1
