Q: Old phone number in iMessage and FaceTime

Hi.

 

I have this problem after I returned from Hong Kong and changed my sim card to a Norwegian phone number that iMessage and FaceTime is still using my old phone number in Hong Kong. I have tried to log in and out, activate and deactivate, both iMessage and FaceTime multiple times, as well as turning the phone off and on multiple times.

 

Also done this:

Change phone numbers associated with imessage

And this:

Add or remove your phone number to iMessage or FaceTime on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

 

But to no avail.

 

I keep getting "Waiting for activation..." and eventually it fails. There is this progress wheel next to the old phone number that keeps animating until the activation fails as well.

 

My device is a iPhone 6s, 64GB, iOS 9.0.2.

 

Any help would be appreciated!
