iMessages wrong number

I ported my old phone number to a new company, I inserted the new sim card with a temporary new number and then it switched to my old one in an hour. However, now iMessaging is stuck on that temporary number. I tried multiple ways suggested but can't fix it. please help!

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Thank you Eric for your help and responses. Eventually the only solution was to actually change the number through “Phone” rather than “iMessages” and “Facetime.” Just an FYI if you or someone else has this problem in the future !

Thank you Eric! When I check my ID on apple website, the number is still the old one, but I still deleted and re added with verification code. On my phone, iMessages and FaceTime are still using the temp number which I can’t delete. So should I just wait 24 hours from when I re entered my correct number on the website ?
