New iPad

[Jess2020]

Hi there, 

I've just got a new iPad Air 2019 on contract and I've only just managed to go the new number on the bit for contactable devices. The number is still not coming up as a choice for messages and FaceTime, I would be great if someone could help. 
im trying to get in contact with my brother as I'm worried

thank you

Go to Settings >Phone >My number and add your number.

Save it and reboot the iPad.

Go back to iMessage and check it's activated.

Hi,

thank you for replying, I've just had a look and it doesn't have a phone setting

You can add it on your phone if you also use an iPhone.

If not, login to iCloud and add it there under devices.
