Yeah , figured it would eventually straighten outI tried like every trick in the book I could find by googling this exact issue when I got my replacement Pixel 5XL. Nothing worked. Finally I just gave up and just kept checking back every couple of days. Eventually it just worked, but it took a week.

Lol no probbtw I didn't mean I had a Pixel 5XL, not like it even exists, not sure why I typed XL. I have the Pixel 5 lol
I've had this issue too and even did a factory reset but that didn't fix it. In the end I left it alone and after a few days it registered. Maybe just give it a bit.
Strange , im on Att with Note20U and swapped between google messages and Samsung and it verifies instantlyAfter watching my phone "trying to verify" my number for a week (S10+ on At&T), my phone updated this morning. And now it's telling me chat isn't available on my carrier. Sweet!

It's very hit or miss..... it seems to be on the carrier as to whether it works or not on your phone. I'm on AT&T as well and chat worked great on my wife's Moto G6, but it was a lot more stubborn on my pixel 1, although it works perfectly on my pixel 3XL. Visual voicemail works perfectly on my wife's phone, works good enough on my pixel 3XL, but worked then stopped on my pixel 1.
One thing I've noticed is that my wife's Moto G6 works good with everything....better than both my pixels. Awesome phone for the $160 I paid for it a few years ago. She loves itAll glass, premium feel, and always gets the job done no matter what apps she puts on it

With Android you get bigger flexibility to customize and changes default settings,apps etc.. where Apple your lock down and why it works great, in the end you have to decide what works best for you and how you want to use the device.Hit or miss is how I describe the entire Android experience. Be it updates, software compatibility, etc. you just never know what you're going to get. And so much of it doesn't even seem to make any logical sense. I dabbled with Apple for a few months, and as much as there was that I hated about it, there's something to be said for having a unified, standardized platform. It really takes uncertainty out of the equation, but in the end, it wasn't for me.
