How to change a phone number connected to iPad imessage

My iPad is connected to my son's old iPhone instead of mine- he set iPad up as gift. How can I get it changed to my phone? Any messages I send on my iPad, he gets on his phone, even when the number is not checked in settings.

I have tried the following:
Had him create a different iTunes account
Reset iPad to original settings and then updated
Signed out of iTunes account on iPad. Signed back in. Had son sign out and back in.

You need to go into Settings>>Messages>> then tap 'Send & Receive'... see who's AppleID is at the top... if it's not yours, tap it... a box will pop up... hit "Sign out"... then log in using your AppleID and then set/add additional email addresses you might like to use...

Do the same as above for FaceTime....
