Cannot receive or send texts

I’ve recently switched from a company Rodger’s account to PM they sent me a confirmation that I’m able to switch my number but I did not reply within 90 minutes because I did not know it was needed as the text did not say it was needed.

I can use data, make calls but cannot receive or send text messages I have an iPhone and on messages in settings under iMessage my number just says activation error. 
I’ve tried all of the websites tips with shutting down phone removing and putting SIM card back in and nothing is working is there any way to fix this Rodger’s says they have no access to my number now and cannot resend the activation message 

is there any way to fix this or will I have to get a new number 

it has also been over 43 hrs since I tried to switch 

thanks
