    Hi mieshafrommcdonough,

     

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    From your question, it sounds like you need to unlink a phone number that has been linked with iMessage and FaceTime. If this is the case, the following article will be able to assist you. 

     

    Unlink your phone number associated with your Apple ID 

    To unlink your phone number, remove your Apple ID from iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone. Follow these steps: 

    1. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Go to Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with iMessage and FaceTime. If the phone number is still available on your other devices after you sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone, you might need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all of your devices. 

    If you don’t have the iPhone with the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

     

    Link your iPhone number and Apple ID to use iMessage and FaceTime - Apple Support

     

    Best!
