Iphone iMessage says "waiting for activation" on my phone number

When I sent texts to other people, they show up from my icloud address, not my normal phone number. I go into Settings>Messages>iMessage>Send & Receive and 2 email addresses are checked, but there is a spinning circle by my phone number and the screen says "waiting for activation". It's been over 24 hours since I changed over and have started and re-started the phone many times. Any ideas on how long "activation" of iMessages should take with my phone number?
