We’ve got a great article on this. Simply follow these steps. Thanks.
+22Switch iMessage and FaceTime off on your phone. Make sure your phone number is updated to the correct one in settings. Turn your phone off/on. Switch iMessage and FaceTime on again. Wait for activation. That’s what I always do when I upgrade my iPhone every year.
