Hi ​@LUCY1231990 ,

 

Hi, I’m sorry you’re having trouble with your temporary number. To fix this:
 

iPhone:

Settings > Phone > My Number – make sure your main number is listed. Remove the temporary number if it’s there.

Settings > Messages – turn iMessage OFF, then Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

Restart your phone and turn iMessage ON again.
 

Android:

Settings > SIM cards & Mobile Networks > SIM settings – make sure only your permanent number is active.

Restart your phone.
 

If this doesn’t work, try your SIM in another phone.

It still isn’t working. It doesn’t allow me to delete the number. I am on iPhone.
 

I have a little 8 square grid in the top right hand corner as opposed to seeing 3G or 4G, do you know what this means?
