Hi

This week I upgraded from an iphone xr to an iphone 13. So i got a new 5G sim with the phone. I've put this in and done the sim swap thing but for some reason when I call my number it goes to voicemail.
I can make calls but when i do it comes up in the caller id section as my icloud address rather than my phone number.

Can anyone advise what I've done wrong or not done?

Sounds like your new SIM hasn’t been activated.

Put the old one in and see if that works

I can use whatsapp and i can make calls - when i do its my icloud address that comes up in caller id rather than my phone number.
I followed all the steps to activate my new 5g sim.

it's all really strange

Turn off the Wi-Fi and mobile data and try and call a landline or non-apple device to see what number shows up.
