New iPhone but can’t receive texts or calls to phone number only iCloud email

I just got a new iPhone but when someone texts or calls my phone number, I don’t receive it. I seem to only have my iCloud email address to receive texts through. Any ideas?

I turned off old phone

iPhone 13

PHone needs to be activated by your cellphone provider in order to use their features.
