how can i re-add my phone number to my apple id so i can send imessages?

Have you tried this?

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

If your phone number is missing on your iPad or iPod touch

Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all of your iOS devices:

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.

Sign back in to iMessage and FaceTime on all of your iOS devices:

1. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap Use your Apple ID for iMessage. Then sign back in with your Apple ID.
2. Go to Settings > FaceTime. Tap Use your Apple ID for FaceTime. Then sign back in with your Apple ID.

Hello,

Go to Settings>Messages>Then see if your Number is there. If it isn't there then I am unsure what the problem is and I would contact Apple Support.
