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).

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone. To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage. One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.

How do I remove a phone number from iMessage on my Mac?

I get a new iPhone tomorrow on a completely new number and I wanted to know how I can remove my current number from being used for iMessage on my mac so that when I get my new phone I can set it up

HI,
In the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears (you can Copy and Paste the bold text).
In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash
Restart Messages.
It will list nothing in the iMessages account and you will have to Add the Apple ID.
Once you have the new iPhone set it up for the Apple ID and the Mac version will then get a pop up asking for your to Accept which will then add the iPhone Number to the Settings.

How do you delete a phone number from an iphone that is listed under other and not in the contacts list?

When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.

Did you manage to resolve this issue?
I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text.

I accidentally removed my phone number from my iphone as a facetime contact for me. now my facetime won't work at all. Any ideas?

I accidently unchecked my phone number as being a contact point for FaceTime on my iphone 4s. Now it just says that it is waiting for activation....
Facetime worked yesterday, but not today, after I synced my new phone with itunes on my computer....
Any ideas?
Thank you!

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

How do I remove my phone number from iMessage so that I could only send/receive via email?

I Need to do this because my postpaid line has recently been disconnected and after updating to IOS8, I couldn't activate iMessage anymore. I know that everytime we active iMessage and Facetime the carrier sends an international text to Apple for activation; so I'd like to temporarily delete my mobile number (since it won't activate yet) and only send / receive via email - so I can still use iMessage.
I Couldn't tick on the number because its greyed out.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks.

How do I remove a phone number from an Ipad

Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...uncheck her number here.
She really needs to get her own Apple ID for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. As you've found out, not doing so will create a mess.
Must be a verified email address. You can create an Apple ID here:

That's the best solution.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.
