Hi guys, hope you’re all good. I was having some issues with the number associated with iMessage. I ported my old number without a problem, but the number originally supplied on the SIM still showed on Settings>Phone>My Number, and it said on Messages and FaceTime that I only have a certain number of days left with my old/ported number because it is not associated with this phone. I tried changing the number in Settings>Phone>My Number, but it wouldn’t save the ported number.
I tried all of this; “Turn OFF iMessage (Settings > Messages). Turn your phone OFF for at least 10 minutes. Turn your phone ON and tap Settings > Phone > My Number and confirm that it is correct. If it’s not correct, please enter the correct number. If you can’t enter the correct number, go to: Apple ID > Name Phone Numbers, Email > CONTACTABLE AT in order to correct the number (initially delete old number, then go back in and insert the correct number). Turn iMessage back to ON (Settings > Messages). Finally, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and see if the correct number is displayed under “Start new conversations from:”. ” But the only thing that worked was a network reset.
Now in Settings>Phone>My Number my old/ported number is finally showing! And in Messages and FaceTime only my old/ported number and my email are showing as the two options, but it still says I have a certain number of days left to use my old/ported number, any ideas?
