Just returned from the USA where I used an eSIM in my iPhone. Have now deleted to eSIM from my device but in ‘Mobile Data’ the wrong number is showing. I’ve tried editing it but it won’t save. I’ve also turned the phone on and off a few times. 
Im still getting texts and calls but why the strange number? How can I change it back to my real number?
