There are always a number of steps that 'we' have to perform after changing to a new phone number.

Such as informing all your contacts.

The data linked to your Apple ID must also match a number of things, such as your trusted phone number, see :

Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details.

https://appleid.apple.com

-> edit or check your trusted phone number.


Check whether your own details at Contacts are still correct.


Check whether your 'new' phone number is linked correct -> Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime
