I have got a new phone with me contract. I have transferred my old number over, but when I send messages, it appears as the number given by ID mobile despite changing it.
Can you help??

Thanks, I'll try that. It's an s22 and yes, got it from id mobile.
Okay
This happens because the Google Messages app uses “Chat features”, meaning the number linked to the device when you first use Messages gets used by Google on their servers, which handle the “Chat features” in their Messages app.
If you turn OFF “Chat features” for a couple of weeks, then the Google servers should manage to sort things out.
Otherwise, Google search “disable Messages chat features” for online help.
Good luck.
