I cannot link my phone number to my iPad for iMessage

After I updated to the latest iOS, my phone number is no longer linked to my iPad for iMessage.

Hello, Kris2588. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here is an article that will help you link your phone number to iMessage. 
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • TS4268 cant link my phone number on new ipad for messages

    Hi, I have just purchased a new ipad mini and set up, as per instructions, however on the first set up i chose "set up as new" rather than back up from my iphone 4/itunes..... the reason for this is that my harddrive on my pc crashed at xmas and have lost everything for the time being, including itunes etc....
    anyway, everything worked ok with the new ipad, but none of my apps synced (i am guessing due to the fact my phone was not linked to icloud at the time?) and what ever i try, i cannot get my phone number to display on the ipad for tex messages/imessages & facetime etc, it only displays my email address associated with my apple id.
    no matter how many times i have signed out on all devices & signed back in, it doesn't change??
    can anyone help with this please?

  • Cannot get contact phone number in new Skype for i...

    With the new Skype for iphone, I am unable to get the contact's phone number displayed.  If I am doing something wrong, someone please let me know how to do this.  If this cannot be done, then the new app makes skype useless because I have multiple contacts with the same phone number and need to see the number.  

    there is no way to see your contact info on latest ios vesrsion. You can see only name. Thats all. what if I want to call someone on iphone instead of skype call using my international subscription. I've to go to my contact info every time as I dont know skype is calling on my contact's mobile no or skype ID. Its frustrating, time consuming and downgrading of the version. Whats the use of skype if we cant access our own skype contact's info? MICROSOFT(It's not '98 it's 2014)Please  fix it. Thank you.

  • How do i remove my phone number from my mac for iMessage?

    I have a macbook air and whenever i try messaging my daughter's phone who has an iphone 5, it ends up in coming back to my mac. So that means my mac is using her phone number as imessage. I tried removing it but i cannot find the setting to do so. PLEASE HELP. i want to remove her phone number from my mac as an imessage setting.

    Open the Messages app on your Mac.  Choose Preferences from under Messages in the menu bar.  Then choose the "Accounts" tab.  All the settings are there.

  • Using more than one phone number on single iPhone for iMessage?

    Is it possible to intentionally have more than one phone number listed under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive?  I know I've heard of 'glitches' where more than one phone number is shown accidentally and how that is solved (signing out of iMessage and then back in), but if you want to intentionally have more than one phone number listed there (say, the phone number of your own device and also the phone number of your work-related iPhone), is there a method?  I'm leaning toward the answer of 'no', but I'm wanting to double check.

    robdrage wrote:
    I'm not sure, but if you use the same Apple ID for both iphones and register both with messages, then you may be able to go to device one Settings>Messages>Send&Receive and select device twos number as well.
    I thought about that. For some reason, I think that I've heard it doesn't work. Sadly, however, I don't have two iPhones with which to test it.

  • Phone number won't verify for iMessage after 5.1 Upgrade

    Anyone have any solution yet?  I have tried hard resets and still nothing.  Under the iMessage slider it say Waiting for Activation and clicking through the "receive at" button it says "Verifying" next to my phone number.  People are able to receive iMessages from my email though? Strange.  Any help is appreciated!!

    Read through this thread, you may find a solution that will work for you: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374660?start=0&tstart=0.  (You might also turn off you phone and remove and reinsert your sim just to be sure it's making good contact.)

    If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone.  If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

    This has been a massive pain in the a**e for hours. 
    Long story short, bot me and my partner have iphones, and she now has an ipad.  The iphone gave her the option of what mobile number to link both imessages and face time to, but the ipod only gives her my number and email address.  I have now created her a new apple id - so how do i link her number to it, so that messages arent just received via her email address?
