SMS messages sent via incorrect number

LB74 · ‎06-12-2021

I recently moved my number across to O2, everything is working accept SMS/iMessage service. When I message a contact it is coming from the temp number I got from o2 before my number was moved across. If contacts send message to my ported number it works ok. Is there a configuration I am missing ? Thanks.

Edit, save and reboot.
