Phone number not associated with iPhone for iMessage and FaceTime

I received a message stating that my phone number is registered to my Apple Account but is not associated with this phone and that i can keep using my number for iMessages and FaceTime for only four more days. I suspect this is related to my recent return from a vacation in Europe where I purchased a SIM card. On returning to Canada I removed the SIM card I used in Europe and reinserted my usual SIM card. How do I resolve this so my number is associated with my phone and I can continue using iMessage and FaceTime?

Go to Settings/Apps/Phone. Tap on My Number and correct it.

Then log out of both FaceTime and Messages:

Tap Messages
If iMessage is off, turn it on
Tap Send & Receive
Scroll down until you see AppleID: and your Apple ID
Tap your Apple ID
Tap Sign Out
Tap Messages at the top left to go back to the main Messages page
Tap Settings at the top left to go back to Settings/Apps

For FaceTime:

Make sure you are still in Settings/Apps
Tap FaceTime
If FaceTime is off, turn it on
Scroll down until you see AppleID: and your Apple ID
Tap on your Apple ID
Tap Sign Out
Restart your phone→Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

Now go to Settings/Apps again, and log back in to FaceTime and messages.
