How to Change Phone Number on iPhone
2Changing your phone number on an iPhone can refer to two different things: updating the number linked to your Apple ID, or changing the actual phone number associated with your SIM or eSIM. Both processes are straightforward and can be completed using your iPhone’s built-in settings.
To update the phone number associated with your Apple ID, start by opening the Settings app and tapping your name at the top to access your Apple ID profile. From there, go to Sign-In and Security, then select Phone Numbers. You’ll see the numbers currently linked to your Apple ID. Tap Edit to remove your old number, then select Add a Trusted Phone Number to enter your new number. Apple will send a verification code to the new number, and you’ll need to enter this code to complete the process.
If you’re changing the phone number tied to your iPhone because you switched carriers or installed a new SIM card, your number should update automatically based on carrier information. However, if your number appears incorrectly, go to Settings, scroll down to Phone, and tap My Number. You can manually edit and enter the correct number here. Restart your iPhone afterward to ensure the changes are fully applied.
For users with an eSIM, go to Settings, then Cellular. Tap on your current plan, choose Remove Cellular Plan, and follow the prompts. Once removed, you can add a new eSIM plan using the QR code or carrier details provided to you.
After changing your phone number, it’s a good idea to verify that it’s correctly synced across services like iMessage, FaceTime, and iCloud to avoid interruptions in communication or verification issues.
