Add telephone number to Start new messages from

My wife and I both have iphone and we have an ipad. On messaging from the ipad, we would like to have both numbers available to "Start new Messages from" How do i add another number to the ipad in that area?

Actually, it is possible, but I find that it causes more problems than its worth - for me and my wife anyway. I should qualify this by saying that as long as all of the iPhone numbers are associated with one shared Apple ID, it's possible to do this.
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at> Check the phone number that you want to start the conversation from in there. Of course, the phone number has to be listed in there in the first place and you have to remember to change it every time you each want to shows your own number.
This should explain to you how to add all of your phone numbers if the are not already listed in there.

Basically, you have to sign out of Messages on all devices, then sign in again on the phones to be able to add the numbers to the iPad.

  • Imessage sends messages from email despite selecting phone number for "start new conversations from"

    On both my phone and my computer I have selected to start new conversations from my phone number, but just now I continued a conversation from my macbook and it sent it from my email address instead of my phone number! All the other answers I found for this question were outdated, I couldn't find "Caller ID" in settings for iOS 8 or Yosemite.

    If this is a continuing conversation, I don't believe the device looks at it as a new conversation, which is what that setting is for, from what I understand. If there is a checkmark by the phone number on all devices, then it should start there, but if the conversation was originally started from the email, I believe it will continue until you start a new conversation.

  • TS4268 Missing Phone Number at "Start new conversations from"

    How come there is missing of the phone number at the "Start new conversations from:" inside Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive" and only have the e-mail address but both of the phone number and e-mail address under "You can be reached by iMessage at:", please advise how to add it back ?

    Yes, I have solved it.  You could try to go from Settings -> Messages, turn the iMessage from ON to OFF, then you switch off your iphone and turn it on; go back to Settings -> Messages, change the iMessage from OFF to ON, then switch off your iphone and turn it back on, go to check whether you could see or add back the phone number assoicated with the iMessage.   Good Luck !

  • Messages - missing 'Start New Conversations From'

    Have an iPhone 4 that I am attempting to use without cellular service.
    Am able to use Facetime but am having a problem with Messages.
    In the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive the phone does not display the 'Start New Conversations From' section.
    I am unable to send from Messages. I assume these two items are related.
    I've tried resetting the phone, using a different apple id / icloud account, all to no avail.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    This worked for me.  Turn off iMessage in Settings---> Messages. Then turn off iPhone. Restart iPhone then turn iMessage back on.   The phone number should reappear.

  • IMessage: "Start New Conversations From" setting is ignored

    In my iMessage settings, I have the option set to start new conversations from my email address instead of my phone number. I don't want anyone having my phone number, so this is a VITAL feature for me.
    The problem is that the setting is IGNORED! New conversations are in fact coming from my phone number. I have tried changing the setting back and forth, even wiped my phone and started from scratch, and still, new conversations come from my phone number instead of my email address.
    How can I get iMessage to acknowledge the setting and start new conversations from my email address?
    Thanks!

    This worked for me.  Turn off iMessage in Settings---> Messages. Then turn off iPhone. Restart iPhone then turn iMessage back on.   The phone number should reappear.

  • Starting new threads from a servlet

    Hi
    I read somewhere that starting new threads from a servlet is not supported in the future releases of J2EE .
    Any one aware of this.
    I have a listener program started as a new thread from the init method of a servlet which is set to load on startup.
    I have to think about another way to do this if this is not suppported in the future releases
    any comments

    Dr clap
    Actually I was getting some warning messages in my websphere server console when I tried to make JDBC connections from the thread I opened in the servlet.
    Everthing works fine but with the warning messages,
    Then someone from IBM answered me in one of the forums quote
    Cause: These messages are being produced due to an
    "unsupported" environment. When application is
    spinning its own threads from an EJB, spinning a
    thread and accessing a database is not supported (per
    the J2EE specification). One exception to this rule is
    if a Servlet is spinning its own threads and accessing
    a database. The J2EE specification is not clear on
    this, so WebSphere Application Server 5.0 must allow
    for it at this time. IBM is working with Sun to
    clarify this in the specification, so eventually (i.e.
    J2EE 1.4) spun threads from a Servlet accessing a
    database outside of a transaction will not be
    supported either.
    Since we don't want to promote the usage of these
    "naked" threads accessing databases, we are producing
    the warning messages. Although they may be filling up
    the logs, we feel that these are necessary to warn the
    user that they are doing something not in-line with
    the intended usage. Customer should consider changing
    their application to comply with the
    J2EE specification.

  • HT5538 If there is no "start new conversations from", what's wrong then? What should I do?

    I'm getting really tired of chat with my friends from my email, and I can't choose my number in "send and receive". There is no "start new conversations from"
    please help me, i've tried everything

    I would turn imessage off, then
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
    After that I would turn imessage back on and try to set it like you want.  Make sure you have yourself correctly entere in the contacts app, make sure you have your phone number entered in settings/phone/my number and in have your information entered in settings/general/siri under my info

  • IMessage randomly starts new conversation from email address

    My wife's phone has been having this problem for a while - both on her iPhone 5, and on her new iPhone 6.
    In the settings for iMessage, it says she can be reached by iMessage at ___, and then lists her Verizon cellular number, and her iCloud email address. Under "start new conversations from" it lists her Verizon cellular number, and her iCloud email address, with the phone numbering having a check mark.
    The issue: some iMessages she sends me will be from her phone number, and some from her email address. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to where the  iMessage originates. The only clue I can decipher is it appears that when she sends photos, it might be coming through her email address, but I can say that's for certain.
    Any idea what the cause is?

    How can I add a signature to a New Messages within 'Cases' in CRM?

    That option is not available, only for emails.

  • Some how do not enter sign was added beside contact, now all messages previously received messages are gone and no new messages from this sender will appear.

    I have been receiving messages from this sender fine and then all of a sudden for some reason there was a do not enter sign beside her name. I didn't know how or why it got there, some button got bumped or the mouse, and I didn't know how to take it off so I just left it. Since then, thunderbird has been reopened and all messages that I had received have disappeared and no new messages from this sender appear even though I know she has sent them to me. I have checked into filters and I have none set so it is not that. I can't figure out how the do not enter sign got beside the contact, but I'm sure it's the reason for my problems and I don't know how to fix it. Thanks

  • Osx mac mail cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts

    osx mac mail suddenly cant reply or start new message, but stores as unworkable drafts
    Dont think I did anything to provoke this, can still access on server sites, but heh I'm used to to mac mail

    As per usual, I spend days working on a problem, finally give up and post to the discussion groups, THEN find the solution. It was the Signature file. It had either become corrupt (it contains graphics) or the bug fixes in 10.5.5 didn't like it. Either way, removed the sig file and everything works great again! Thanks!

  • "1 new message from " and no message in conversations Pantech Go Phone

    I get a notification that I have a new message from ______, its literally blank.  When I go to my messaging folder into conversations there is no new message.  The only way to get rid of the new message notification is to delete all my conversations.  My phone is not fancy, I have a junker Pantech P7040P that has worked great until now.  I've turned the phone off and on after removing the battery and SIM card and the notification returns.  I've stopped MMS from automatically downloading and still the message is from no one and does not show up in my conversations.  No software updates were available.  Tried the troubleshoot and resolve tool to no avail.  Any insight is really appreciated.

    Hello @theruthene
    What you’ve described sounds like a glitch in your software.
    Since you’ve already performed basic troubleshooting steps, I would recommend performing a master reset.
    Go to Menu > Settings > Reset > Enter the device’s password, then press OK > Master Reset > Yes to confirm.
    If after performing a master reset, you continue to have an issue, then the phone most likely needs replacement.
    Thank you,
