A guide for troubleshooting issues with your iMessage showing the wrong number

Updated over a month ago

If your iMessage number is incorrect the day after your number has switched over to Honest, please call another phone number (or get someone to call you) to test that your number has successfully transferred.

If it has transferred, then your iPhone's formatting is wrong and you can try the steps below to fix this.

Please attempt each step one by one, if step 1 doesn't work progress to step 2, 3 etc:

  1. Go to Settings > Apps > Messages and toggle iMessage off.

  2. Go to Settings > Apps > Phone > My Number and manually change it to your correct number

  3. If the steps above don't work, you'll need to reset your network settings, using the help here
