My number moved but my phone still shows the old one. What do I do?

That's your phone holding on to the temporary number.

Once your number has moved, your phone can take a little while to catch up and keep showing the temporary number. Nothing is wrong with the transfer itself.

First, restart your phone. It can take a few hours after the transfer completes for everything to settle, so give it time, then restart. That fixes most of these.

Still the old number?

iMessage or FaceTime still using the wrong number (iPhone)? They register your number separately, so they can lag behind.

Turning iMessage and FaceTime off, restarting, then on again usually sorts it. Sign in if you'd like us to walk you through it.

Can't make or receive calls at all after the move? Restart, give it up to 12 hours, then see Calls or texts not working.
