How do I remove an incorrect phone number in iMessage?
Any way to do this without changing my Apple ID and removing all phone numbers on my phone? Tried deleting from my contacts but it still pops up in iMessage. Thanks.

Hi there JTO49,
It sounds like you're trying to remove a phone number from iMessage, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.
Take a look at it here: Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime
Specifically, the section below may help:
"Remove your phone number
If you don't want calls or messages for your iPhone on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, you can remove your phone number. There are two ways to do this:
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Select your Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then go to Settings > FaceTime, select your Apple ID and tap Sign Out.
- If the phone number that you want to remove belongs to an iPhone that you can't access, change your Apple ID password. This removes all phone numbers from your iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. Calls or messages for the removed numbers won't appear on those devices anymore.
If you have questions, contact Apple Support."
Cheers!
