How can I verify my phone number to use FaceTime and iMessage instead of email address!?
My iMessage and FaceTime are both working, but it still says "Waiting for activation.." right under both the FaceTime and iMessage settings. Under the "Receive At" setting, my email address is entered in. When I press on my email address, it takes me to a page shows my Apple ID, my email address, and in gray it says "Vertifying" with my phone number also in gray. I am currently out of the country and am using wifi for my apps, iMessage, FaceTime, and checking email. Why does it still say waiting for activation even though I can use everything fine?
I want that to be my last option if I need to. I don't want to delete everything and update everything back over. Are the finished with updating the severs? Last night I was unable to sign in using my Apple ID to use FaceTime or iMessage, but now I am logged in, but I can't verify my number. My iMessages are going through with my email instead of my number

As the question says. So I sent a text to myself from her ipad it then popped up her name with the message but then also my name. I am trying to make it so she can send texts out but I will not get them also. I don't have my number or email checked under send and receive but it is still sending to me. iCloud is disabled on her device. Any ideas?
Why not just create an Apple ID for her and then you wont have any problems. Login on iMessage and Facetime using her ID and do the rest with your ID. It will work i tried it on my iPad

Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center
how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?
You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages. -

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly
How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it. -

how can i change my phone number on my ipod to a different number than my i phone
Only by getting a different iPhone and using your Apple ID for Messages/FaceTime on your iPod. The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number for Messages and FaceTimeT if the Apple ID used for those services on the iPad is also used on a Phone witrh iOS 6 or later.

Hello brentfrommt. washington
To add a phone number to your iMessage account, you need to have an iPhone with your phone number on it. Once you sign into iMessage the iPhone it will link to all your devices with that Apple ID. Take a look at the article below for more information.
