How do I change my apple ID email address on my phone?

I recently changed my email address and password on my apple ID.

I can access my Apple ID online but I am now unable to use iMessage and any other features that require my Apple ID on my phone.

When I go to change it in iCloud and in FaceTime it asks for the password to my old email address (which is now an alternative email address on my Apple ID but doesn't accept any password I have previously used.

Any help would be greatly apprecieated.

Thank you

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1, Apple ID

You can change your e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, what you did is change the Apple ID instead.

All content bought with an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

Check your Apple ID here: Note: do not create a new Apple ID see above.
