getting my phone number on my new phone

I transferred my info. from the 6plus to my new iPhone 11 and I think I see everything except I don't have a phone number.

I have contacts, etc. but can't make calls, don't see a have data, and when I text it is only through wifi access and an address pops up with the person receiving the text.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Did you move the SIM from the old phone to the new phone, or contact your carrier to move your number from the old phone to the eSIM in the iPhone 11? You need to do one of these two.

You actually have three options:

  1. Move the SIM from your old phone to your new phone - you don’t need to contact your carrier to do this
  2. Call your carrier and get them to send you a new SIM - Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
  3. Call your carrier and ask them to activate the eSIM on your phone - Using Dual SIM with an eSIM - Apple Support
