When I do iMessage to anyone...it shows my email id rather than my cell phone number.

How to change it from email id to number?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

Hi,

I recently bought an Iphone 6s, when activating the device is used my brothers sim-card whist i waited to receive mine from vodafone.

Now the phone is set up and i want to use my own sim, but i am having extreme difficulty when it comes to imessage and facetime.

I have tried to sign out and sign in multiple times but this does not affect the loading old number or replace it with my new number.

I thought once i put in the new sim then it would simply replace the old number with the new one, however the new number is not on the send & receive list but the old number with a loading sign and in a faint grey colour, and my apple id.

I have also restored the phone to no hope, and am seriously going around in circles.


Thank you in advance.
