I had a different problem with Google Messages which was it sending my messages "from" the phone number originally on my SIM when I changed networks, not the number I ported to the new network (which I've used since 1999, and ported across multiple phone contracts and SIMs and companies over the years.) So my family etc were like "who's this?" and there was literally no documentation or help I could find to make it stop.
I installed the Chomp message app and that sends messages from my ported number as it should.
