Text message problem
You may need to check the settings on your phone. It should show 'My Number' somewhere (depends if iPhone or Android) and you should change it to show the correct number.
It is sometimes incorrect as the phone picks up the number from the sim when you insert it - in this case it is possibly the number that came with the sim and it did not register when you transferred your own number over to the phone (because the sim didn't physically change).
Hope this helps.
Has anyone fixed this FaceTime and messenger problem with temporary number on phone and can’t change. Have tried everything that has been mentioned
Jeanett_2914747 Did you follow the clear advice given by @Rebekah above in this thread?
The phone 'remembers' the first number allocated to the sim and has to be persuaded to change it to your ported-in number.
