Vodafone numbers not imported correctly

Help!. I have just switched to ID from Vodafone, along with my wife. We cannot text each other, and also some other texts go astray, or appear on my old phone with the id mobile numbers. Have our Vodafone numbers been imported correctly?

    Hi ​@Bazc,

     

    We are so sorry to hear of the issues that you are currently facing. Please try the steps below, depending on the type of phone you have:

     

    For Android:

    1. Open Settings
    2. Tap General Management
    3. Tap Reset
    4. Select Reset network settings

     

    For iPhone:

    • Go to Settings
    • Tap Phone
    • Tap My Number
    • Delete the old number
    • Enter the new/current number
    • Tap Save

     

    Then follow these steps to refresh iMessage:

    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap Messages
    3. Turn iMessage OFF
    4. Go to Settings > General
    5. Tap Reset
    6. Choose Reset Network Settings
    7. Once your iPhone restarts, go back to Settings
    8. Tap Messages
    9. Turn iMessage ON again

     

    Your iPhone should now recognise the SIM and verify your number to get it working again.

    Thank you Gemma. I had a long on line chat with one of your colleagues. The result was two new SIM cards, which are programmed to our original Vodafone numbers. Everything is working fine now.
