Any way to link two iPhones (numbers) with iMessage and iOS6?

iOS6 unifies iMessage with your devices . . . but . . . what do you do to unify two iPhones for iMessage?? I have a work iPhone, and a personal iPhone, in the settings for iOS6 you can add multiple emails, but only ONE phone number. Any way to link more than one phone? Would using the same Apple ID work?

To those having the problem of un-linking your phone from your wife's phone, etc . . .
I am NOT linked with my wife's phone because she has a separate iCloud account, even though we use the same Apple ID for apps, music, etc. with iTunes. You can have a distinct and separate Apple ID for iTunes vs. the one you use for iCloud. Same setup on my daughter's phone.
My problem with my other personal phone may be that I have downgraded my phone to upgrade the rest of the family when I got my work 4s. My personal phone is now a 3G, and there is no iCloud or iOS6 for the 3G. I may have to wait until I upgrade to see if I can link them with the same iCloud account . . . and have iMessage relate to both.
On the same topic, I assume that this linking only works for iMessage, and NOT other text messages received from non-iOS phones/devices? Curious if I am correct on this.
When I had a work Blackberry, I had an app called txtforward on the Blackberry, that would send me an email to my iPhone (personal) when I got a text on my work phone. It made it much easier to not have to carry two phones. Have not found such an app in the app store to date.

  • Problems with iMessage and IOS6 !!!

    Since I installed the new IOS6, I have not been able to use my Imessage! (On both my new Ipad and my Ipod touch 4th Generation). Could somebody please help me out?

    I had the same problem; First, I was unable to sign into iMessage, FaceTime and even iCloud.  I kept getting an error message saying unable to connect to the servers, and to check my network settings.  I restarted the phone.  Then I signed back into each app.  iCloud let me sign in but still didn’t work and FaceTime and iMessage were not working at all and were still giving the same error.  As I was sorting through this problem, I began trying to set up Passbook (still doesn’t work btw) and read a thread about having to go and set your date and time to manual and not set time and date automatically, then set the year forward a year and then it would work.  Well I tried that do try and get Passbook working, I then put the date and time back to set time and date automatically, and all of a sudden iCloud started working, and FaceTime and iMessage let me sign in and activated.  I was able to send text via iMessage, but was not getting replies.  I restarted the iPhone again and it has worked perfectly ever since.  Hope this help, just search Passbook setup problems, you will find tons of threads about this problem.  Hope this helps. 

  • Is there any way to save an iphone with water damage?

    Is there any way to save an iphone 5 with water damage? I know older phones you could some times use rice to dry it out.

    1, Place in ziplock bag with dry raw white rice for a week.
    2, When that doesn't work take to Apple and purchase out of warranty replacement.
    3, If you have already turned on the power the damage is done so just proceed to step 2.

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.

    If you were not syncing the contacts in your phone with a contact manager or cloud service, there is no way to get them from the car to the phone other than manually re-entering them in the phone.

  • Is there any way to link the individual rows of data to the corresponding bars in a bar chart so that each legend title appears simultaneously with its corresponding bar when creating a build? I can do it in a pie chart but can't in a bar chart.

    You used the data.  Verizon can not see what it was sued for.  However your phone can see whats apps used the data.  go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle.  line the dates up with your cycle.  then there will be a bar graph below that   extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right.  after those are extended below that will be a list of apps,  there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

  • HT4757 Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    Will this software make my Canon Powershot A700 work with os x 10.8.2 and iPhoto 11 v. 9.4.1?  Is there any way to get my camera compatible with this computer?

    First Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that doesn't help apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there any way to get my iPhone 4S from Verizon to work in Hong Kong?  So far it only says cannot activate cellular data

    Is there any way to get my iPhone 4S from Verizon to work in Hong Kong?  So far it only says cannot activate cellular network.  I have cleared all settings, turned off CDMA...etc and still nothing.

    If you are there now, there is nothing you can do.  Before going you should have talked with Verizon, they have international service programs they can activate, but it has to be before going.

  • Any way to link to a specific message from outside Mail?

    Hi,
    I am putting together a fairly basic customer enquiry database using Mac OS X Mail and an external database. The system will keep in the database a list of specific email messages associated with a particular customer, and should allow these messages to be brought up within Mail by clicking on a link in the database client.
    However, Mail doesn't seem to offer any way of linking to a specific message within its database from outside Mail.
    I imagined I would be able to do this instead by using the Message-Id: headers from incoming emails, and then getting Mail to do a search on these headers. However, putting a Message-Id into Mail's search field also fails.. it appears Mail doesn't index this header.
    Can anyone help or offer a different solution to linking to a message inside Mail from an external app?

    I'm not entirely sure I understand what you want to do, but if you are trying to link received emails to an external database, you can do so with Applescript, assuming your database app supports it.
    AppleScript support in Mail offers the following message properties (copied from the "Message" suite in Mail's Applescript dictionary):
    id (integer, r/o) : The unique identifier of the message.
    all headers (string, r/o) : All the headers of the message
    background color (blue/gray/green/none/orange/other/purple/red/yellow) : The background color of the message
    mailbox (mailbox) : The mailbox in which this message is filed
    content (string) : Contents of an email message
    date received (date, r/o) : The date a message was received
    date sent (date, r/o) : The date a message was sent
    deleted status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is deleted or not
    flagged status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is flagged or not
    junk mail status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message has been marked junk or evaluated to be junk by the junk mail filter.
    read status (boolean) : Indicates whether the message is read or not
    message id (string, r/o) : The unique message ID string
    source (string, r/o) : Raw source of the message
    reply to (string) : The address that replies should be sent to
    message size (integer) : The size (in bytes) of a message
    sender (string) : The sender of the message
    subject (string) : The subject of the message
    was forwarded (boolean) : Indicates whether the message was forwarded or not
    was redirected (boolean) : Indicates whether the message was redirected or not
    was replied to (boolean) : Indicates whether the message was replied to or not
    As you can see, this gives you access to just about any message property you could need for the database. You wouldn't need to tell Mail to search for the message; you could refer to it directly by its ID (or message id string) in its mailbox.
    I have done something similar using an older version of Filemaker Pro (v6). I store 'calculated' scripts in the database along the lines of this pseudo-code:
    Tell app "Mail" to open message {ID field} of mailbox {mailbox field} of account {related:account field}
    ... and have Filemaker execute them via a button when I need to open the record's message in Mail. This works very well for my purposes, which may be different from yours. (Note that the pseudo-code won't work as written; it is meant only to convey the idea involved.)

  • Can you link two iPhones, one on pay monthly the other on pay as you go, to the same iTunes account? As once sync'd the pay as you go looses its service provider??

    Can you link two iphones to iTunes account, one is pay as you go the other is pay monthly on different service providers, the pay as you go when sync'd can't find it's service provider ??

    The iTunes account has nothing to do with the cellular service provider. So you should be able to have both phones on the same account. What problem do you have with it?
