I would try this sequence.

Insert the new sim with the new phone number.
Settings > Messages>Turn off iMessage.
General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Turn iPhone back on
Go to Settings > Messages>Turn ON iMessage to have your phone recognised and the SIM verified.

If this sequence doesn't help I would consider backing up your data and wipe your device and then do a restore from back up.
