Hi Serbs3,
Since the telephone number used for the Messages and FaceTime apps are based on the information in your Apple ID, you may need to update your Apple ID contact information to address this issue. The resources below will explain how.

Go to Messages settings in Settings. Scroll down to "send & receive" Click on that box. Make sure your new number is selected under "You can be reached...."
