Go to Settings>Messages. Check if iMessage is activated. If it is, then see this, Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime - Apple Support

Did you check to see if iMessage is activated on the phone? Do you have a SIM in the phone? Try turning iMessage off, the restarting the iPhone, then going back in and turning iMessage back on. See if that picks up your phone number. If not, then follow the instructions at the end of support document I linked for you and contact Apple Support.
