Can I attach multiple phone numbers to my iMessage account?

So here's my predicament:
Any time I go travelling somewhere, I like to buy a local SIM card so that I don't have to pay fees for roaming data. The problem is that whenever I insert a new SIM card, iMessage switches to using my new (temporary) number and disconnects from my old (permanent) number. So any new messages I send will either send from this foreign number, or from my email; either one is inconvenient because it tends to start new threads for others in group messages and such. And people who try to iMessage my permanent phone number end up having it fail and then send it as a text message (which I will not receive until I get home and switch my SIM card back).
Is it possible to have multiple phone numbers connected to an iMessage account? (Without resorting to something drastic like buying more iPhones just to have more active numbers.) It seems like something that should be possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.

No, it isn't possible. But you can give Apple this suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

How do I get rid of multiple phone numbers listed in iMessage and Facetime?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 5 and also upgraded my husband to the iPhone 4. I had originally activated his phone under my Apple ID but have since gotten him his own Apple ID. The problem I am having is that I have both of our phone numbers listed under:
Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>You can be reached by iMessage at:
It then lists my number and his number. Does anybody know how to delete his number? He seems to be getting some of my messages and his number is also listed under my Facetime contact numbers.

basically, you have to backup your phone to your computer, restart it, and set up as a new one. then you can start fresh, but still keep all your data and contacts.

Can I keep my phone number on my iMessage account if I replace my iPhone?

So long story short, my contract is expiring soon which means time for a new phone. However I'm looking to experiment with Android. Who knows, may end up going back but anyway, I have a MacBook and an iPad. Since a large amount of my contacts use iMessage, I would like to keep my phone number so my contacts know its me (I have too many to tell them all individually that I'm switching). Is this possible if I keep my Mac and/or my iPad?

You would have to ask your new provider if they can port your number

Multiple Phone numbers for Multiple addresses

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement to build a solution for the following :
Every Business partner may have multiple addresses, and each address may have multiple phone numbers !!
We already have a qualified lookup table to house the multiple addresses but we are stuck at accomdating multiple phone number to each of the addresses !!
Any smart ideas !!?
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
I got your point .But I guess you are talking about a lookUp Qualified inside a lookup Qualified table which I believe is not possible.But u can nest a lookup Flat table inside a qualified Table.
To your problem I have a different solution.
Let suppose Master record is as shown below:
Id | Name | Home_Add | Business_ADD | Landline | Mobile.
1 | abc | 123 | - | 078821 | 93709.
1 | abc | - | 345 | 080145 | 98932.
Here customer 'abc' have Multiple address like Home address and Business address.And each address has multiple phone numbers like Landline and Mobile.
In this case if you design repository as;
Main Table: ID,Name,Addres_Type
where Address_Type is a LookUp Quaified Field (multivalued)
Qualified Table:Address Type(Non-Qualifier),Landline(Qualifier)and Mobile(Qualifier),Address(Qualifier).
Address Type is a Flat LookUp Table with values Home address and Business Address.
After You Import in Data Manger your record will look like:
Id | Name | Address Type
1 | abc |Home Address;Business Address.
and when you see in Record detail pane for Address Type
you will find values like
Address Type: Home Address.
Landline : 078821
Mobile : 93709.
Address :123
Address Type: Business Address.
Landline : 080145
Mobile : 98932
Address :345
Hope this will help to solve your problem.If any further qury then do post to me.
Reward points if helpful.

Neethu.

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email

can you have multiple phones on same user email

If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes. Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account. Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

HT1766 can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Can you have multiple iPhones in the same iTunes account without overwriting each phones content?

Hi sandexpress,
As Ocean20 indicates, you want to make sure that you have automatic syncing turned off. In iTunes Preferences under Devices, make sure you have "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" checked. Then connect each iPhone, and make sure that "Manually Manage Music and Videos" is checked on the Info page for each of them. Then go into each page for each device, and select what you want to sync to that particular device. (you would do this one device at a time - complete the steps for one of the phones, then connect the next one and do the same thing).
With this kind of setup, you can modify what will sync at any given time for a particular device once you have connected it to iTunes, but before you click on the Sync button at the bottom of the screen. If you want to change some sync options on a particular device, you would just go into the page you wanted to change (Music, Photos, Apps, etc.), make your changes, and then Sync.
If you do not have any changes, you can just hook up the phone and click on Sync.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
GB

Why can't I edit phone numbers in the dialer?

If I find a number on the Internet, it is often (at least in Sweden) typed in with country code and then an optional 0 if you're calling domesically, e.g. +46 (0) 8-402 60 00. This number isn't dialable because of the extra 0 inserted there from misguided benevolence.
My phone is also inside a switchboard and I need to add either a 0 or replace the first 0 with +46 (for a Swedish number) in front of every number to be able to make a call. Unfortunately the only way I can find to edit a phone number in the phone number dialer is to erase them from the last digit. Not very efficient if you want to replace the first digit!
Why can't I edit phone numbers anywhere in the string of numbers as anywhere else in the phone and its apps?
Now I have to copy the number either into a new contact or the notepad, edit and then dial.

Copied from my answer to your other thread for your convenience:
Unlike the iPhone, Android allows developers access to basic system functions. Although this means there are lots of apps that do interesting things like scheduling text messages (the one thing I really miss from when I had an Android), it also means the OS is significantly less secure. Apple's choice was security and stability. Google's was open platform at the expense of security and stability.

Can Not save new phone numbers

Can Not save new phone numbers.
I have :
net_rim_bb_phone_app(66) corrupt message on the screen.
Please advice.

Hi, thanks for replying. However after doing this process I now get the error messages when I try to save. When I try to save to the SIM it says "SIM full cannot add contact" and when I try to save to the phone it says "error cannot save contact changes". I don't believe the SIM to be full as I only have 15 numbers on the SIM. Any other advice?

Danny,
Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

I have model series KX TG7641 /w 5 phones....
My questions:
1. Can the directory of phone numbers with in my iPhone be transferred to the Panasonic and retain the individual number designations; i.e., "home-moblie-work-etc"?
2. Can I use the manual select on the Panasonic to selectively transfer numbers from my iPhone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
FYI, there are no viruses that affect iOS unless the device has been hacked or jailbroken, in which case they cannot be discussed here.
