@BarbO - do you have an iphone? Deregister the old number on the iphone: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage/

Set up your phone new number On your iPhone:

1. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is on. You might need to wait a moment for it to activate.
2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see “Use your Apple ID for iMessage,” tap it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch.
3. In the "You can receive iMessages" section, make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected.
4. Go to Settings > FaceTime and make sure that your phone number and Apple ID are selected in the "You can be reached by FaceTime at" section.

The receiptent should delete the old number on their contact list and re-add you with the new number.

Did that someone know the former owner? Public only sends out a number. Maybe the recipient subscribes to a caller id service? Or has a smart caller id that hasn't been updated yet in their database.
