How can I add or change cell number in iMessage settings. Shows email only

How can I change or add cell number in settings for iMessage. It was there during set up but now doesn't show so that number can b changed to correct cell#

How do I add a cell number to iMessage on iPad Air 2?

Wife bought me a iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular and it's own unique phone # for Christmas.
She bought it through her Verizon account.
It arrived today via FedEx. Opened it up. Turned it on. Did the initial set-up on it.
Problem is I accidently signed in using my Apple ID that I have for my iPhone.
After that, whenever I would get a text message on my iPhone it shows up on my iPad also...which I don't want.
I want to be able to use iMessage on the iPad and use it's own unique # that came with it.
So I did some reading and from what I found it sounds like you have to sign out of iMessage on the iPad and sign in with a "new" Apple ID that's attached to that new number.
That being said, I signed my iPhone's Apple ID out of my iPad on iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage.
Then I created a completely new Apple ID and assigned the new cellular # to that account on www.myappleID.com and saved it.
I then went back onto my iPad and signed into iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage with the new Apple ID that I'd created.
Now it only shows the email address associated with that Apple ID as the only 'Send & Receive' option...no phone number.
I then went back and confirmed that I'd saved the cell # change via myappleID.com, signed back out of Cloud/FaceTime/iMessage on the iPad and signed back in.
Still, not showing the cell # listed under 'Send & Receive' options for iMessage...and it's not showing me an option for adding the number either...at least that I can find.
So does anyone know how I can now add the Cellular Data Number that's already listed in General>About>Cellular Data Number to iMessage so that I can actually receive messages to that number that's assigned to the iPad?

The only way you can use a mobile number with iMessage on an iPad if it's associated with an Apple ID that is also associated with an iPhone. YO can then use the iPhone's mobile number. The mobile number on the iPad is for carrier billing purposes only. It cannot be used for messaging.

Will not allow me to add my cell number to imessage

I am trying to add sons iPhone cell number to his iPad iMessage and it will not allow me

Your iMessage is likely still activating on your phone number. When you go to Settings > Messages at the top where the iMessage switch is does it say "waiting for activation" ? That sometimes takes up to 24 hours, which *****.

IMessage not working. Can't add mobile number!?

I had never use IMessage before, ever. Only a few days ago did I turn on iMessage which then it said "waiting for activation". I then texted a friend and it was an iMessage BUT she said it was coming from my email. This is really annoying my friends and myself, and it's using up my data on my phone which I have to pay for. I've read related discussions, and have tried everything possible. I've restarted my phone. Signed out and back into Apple. It still uses my email and it does not show my number nor does it let me add my number. All it shows is my email as my address, then underneath says "add another email address".

I found the resolution! To recap, My iPad was unable to send/receive iMessages using my iPhone number. It was only showing my email address as an option. It all has to do with your iPhone, not your iPad.
Go to your iPhone and navigate to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive. At the top, you should notice that it is asking you to sign in using your AppleID. You must sign in on your iPhone or it will not know to sync it up with your iPad. Once you login, you will notice that your phone now shows your phone number and email address. Go back to your iPad and navigate to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive. You need to sign out of your AppleID from here. Simply sign back in and voila! You will get a pop up message telling you what you've done. Go to your iPhone and it will give you similar messages saying that the iPad was set up with that phone number. Enjoy!
This may have worked for you, but for a growing number of people, it's not working for us.
-We have no option to select between our phone number or email
-We have no caller id selection option
-Recieve & Send only has the email listed (phone # is greyed out and can't be ticked)
-Signing in and out does nothing
-Resetting network settings doesn't work
I'm thinking some of you were just lucky and it started working on it's own again after you did reset the power and what not. For the vast majority and the 290,000 plus views from this topic alone, it isn't working.

Hey bill.rizzo2,
Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
3. 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.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
1. 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.
2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
Thanks,

Imessages won't deliver after cell number change

My husband and I recently changed our cell phone numbers, and now imessages won't deliver between us. We both have iphone 4, ios5.1, and we had no issues at all until we changed numbers. We share an apple id, so I've already deleted the id from my phone under Settings/messages/receive at so that it only shows my cell number. But I still cannot send an imessage to him. I can send imessages to other friends with iphones, but not his for some reason. any ideas??

I'm having a similar issue with my iPhone 5. A friend of mine is using his iPod to text me and using his email address and my phone was fine three hours ago (at 3:00pm central time), but now it won't send any of my iMessages... I've signed out of my Apple ID and made sure Facetime was enabled... and it won't send!

HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.
