Try going into settings> FaceTime and turn off FaceTime. Then go to Messages and turn off iMessage.
Turn your phone off then on again.
GO back into FaceTime and activate it again, likewise with iMessage. It should then try to reactivate and your new number should come up (you can see this further down in Send & Receive addresses). You may need to log back into your Apple I.D. when doing this.

There should be an "edit" button to the right of the phone numbers when you sign in here: https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage

it still the same number sadly 😟
Strange, it worked for me. Have you just changed your number recently? Sure it has 'ported' across properly? Try call or sending a normal SMS to someone and see. Need to make sure you are signed out of both FaceTime and iMessage before switching off.
The phone numbers are not editable. The email addresses are.
The edit button will not allow for change of reachable phone number when in the 'manage' apple account. I do not have the device anymore so need to find a simple answer. Why is it so complicated that an edit button will allow for all other account info changes but not for the new reachable phone number.
I am having the same problem, only my problem is that unless I remove a phone number from my "reachables" I will continue to have my text, messages and etc going to someone else just because I cannot remove their phone number from this "reachable" list!!!! Help!
I am having the same issue but with the email addresses too! I go to edit but it is all in light gray and will not allow me to change anything! These are email address that were created and not needed and I would like them deleted :-(
Change your AppleID password.
This will remove the number.
how would this remove the number by only changing your password? Impossible!
I've seen dumber things work. I changed my password. This DID NOT work. I need to REMOVE my daughter's phone iPhone 6 phone number completely from the account and make my iPhone the "REACHABLE AT" only number. I can ADD new numbers but her number remains the primary number.
