Sounds like you’ve got an iPhone @Paul Kennedy.

Issues like this usually sort themselves out after 24-48 hours, following a number transfer.

Sometimes a NETWORK RESET can help with this, and the procedure for this is explained in the iOS user guide.

Hi @Paul Kennedy 

 

I’d recommend trying the following;

 

1) Turn off iMessage (Settings > Messages)
2) Restart your phone (by pressing and holding the on/off button)
3) Tap Settings > Phone > My Number and confirm that it is correct. 
4) If it is not correct, please enter the correct number
5) Turn iMessage back to On (Settings > Messages)
6) Finally, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and see if the correct number is displayed under "Start new conversations from:"

If you are having issues with step 4 please reset network settings and try again.

 

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

 

It may also be worth speaking directly to Apple to see if they can support with this.
