Your phone number is still linked to yoru AppleID & iMessage.
On the iPhone, Settings > Messages, turn off iMessages.
Also, follow these instructions -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
Then your husband will follow the setup procedure using his AppleID & his personal info.

    how do i change the phone number for imessages?
    i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
    My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

    Hi Peter,
    Sounds like your iPad is using your Wife's Apple ID. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive is the Apple ID that appears there your Wife's?  If so tap it and select Sign Out and login with your own Apple ID.

  • How do I change the phone number for IM and FaceTime?

    Since my update to IOS 6 my FaceTime and IM are using my wife's phone number and I can't change it to mine. The email address are editable but the phone number is not. Help?

    All of my devises are updated to iOS6. But after reading your reply I tried turning off iM and face time in all three devices, powered them all down for 10 minutes. I turned my phone back on first (the one I wanted associated with my iPad) then turned on my iPad. I turned on iM and face time on my phone, then the iPad. In came up with all my info including my (correct number) phone number. Then I turned on my wife's phone and turned her iM and FaceTime on. Her number also popped up in the iPad but I could choose what number I wanted to use and left hers off. Her phone number is associated with my iTunes acc because we share all of our music and apps. For a little privacy you'll have to make a separate iTunes acc to completely get the unwanted number off the iPad. As long as both numbers are there you can switch between phone numbers and see iM messaging.
    So basically the phone numbers in the iPad are edited thru the individual phones, iTunes acc and not the iPad itself.
    Hope this helped if you're having the same issue.

  • How i can change the phone number for face time in iPhone 6

    plas i want change my old number to new number for face time in iPhone

    Go into Settings, turn FaceTime off. Power the phone off/on. Go back into Settings, turn on FaceTime and let it activate. The phone number comes from the SIM and the activation message. It should populate the correct number.

  • How do I change the phone number for iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Lori284,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    First remove the existing phone number:
    Additional Information
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • How can I change the phone number for my I message

    I have a new phone number but cannot get my iPad iMessage to change to the new number

    I am assuming you have an iPhone?  have you gone into Settings>Messages and updated everything there, if so I would have thought an option would then be present on the iPad.

  • HT5622 My husband and I share the same apple id for our iphones, how do we change the phone number associated with our apple id to his phone number? He is getting my messages because the ipod has my number in it not his?

    My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?

    Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
    If he does not have an ID then
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

  • How do I change the phone number of an original iPhone

    My oldest daughter just got a new phone for xmas. She is giving her original iPhone to her sister (who's iphone was stolen) I erased the content, but how to I change the phone number to my younger daughter's #, which is still active.

    I thought the data erase feature was only on the new G3's? We did think she had password lock on, which is why we figured it couldn't be returned. We thought whoever found it (she knows she lost it on the school bus, there were only two other high school girls on the bus at the time) couldn't get in to figure out who it belonged too...now we realized she had turned it off and someone actually "stole it" v. "found it"

    How do I change the phone number attached to my Icloud? All the codes and stuff are being sent to my old number.

    Hello Babyygrl23,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there. 
    Apple - My Apple ID
    Cheers,
