Just a little side note,I am with cello and I called them a few minutes stating my problem and they said they can’t help with such issues...so I’m stuck at this point

  2. Make sure that you correctly followed the iPhone steps toset up your phone number. You should be using the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
  3. In the “You can be reached” section of Messages and FaceTime settings, make sure that there are checkmarks beside your phone number and Apple ID:
