Hello. Hope everyone is safe. I recently acquired a Pay As You Go SIM card with 10£ credit to test it out. I submitted the form to keep the number from my previous service provider. It seems that the change was successful. I can call and receive calls from my previous number. However, the iPhone is not recognising the new number, and keeps showing an alert that I have to update the number on iMessage and Facetime. If I go to Settings -> Apple ID -> This iPhone XS, under Phone Number it shows the number of the SIM card when I received it. How can I update this number to keep my iMessage and Facetime working properly ?
