Not all these steps may be necessary but:


  1. Tap Settings > Phone > My Number and ensure it is correct.
  2. Go back to Settings > Messages.
  3. Turn iMessage off for a moment, then back on.
  4. Under the iMessage on/off toggle, tap Send & Receive and check the number.
  5. Go back to Settings > FaceTime.
  6. Turn FaceTime off for a moment, then back on.
