Question

Number not fully transferred

I am having issues with my messaging since transferring from O2 to ID. It is nothing to do with my iPhone or anything Apple. When I send a text it comes from a different number, friends aren’t knowing who is messaging them? I am not receiving texts needed for two step verification codes. However when I call someone my correct phone number appears. Why has the number not fully transferred? Please can this be fixed.
