Can i change the phone number on my iphone

my bro borrowed my iphone and when i got it back there were two massive scratches on the screen so i got really mad of at him and told him how i spent 600 dollars on it and how i have never gotten a scratch on it so he said that he would buy me a new one if he could keep the old one and i said ok
but know my question is how do i put a his phone number on the old one and can i get my phone number on the new one

You just take your sim card out of the old one and into your new one.
Your brother will need to get a new SIM card because his old phone card will not work in the iPhone. He can get that at any ATT store, and then activate it either to extend his own two year contract and transfer over his own old phone number, or add it as a second line.

How can i change the phone number on my ipod to a different number

how can i change my phone number on my ipod to a different number than my i phone

Only by getting a different iPhone and using your Apple ID for Messages/FaceTime on your iPod. The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number for Messages and FaceTimeT if the Apple ID used for those services on the iPad is also used on a Phone witrh iOS 6 or later.

Can't change the phone number that appears on the front screen

My phone used to belong to my mom and I had it unlocked so I could use it overseas. However, her phone number still shows up on the front screen even though I've had 2 different sim cards in it, each with their own number. How do I change it to my current number?

Hello holleman,
I got some GREAT news for you! You can have your mobile number changed, gain access to your account online, and keep the tenured status of the account in tact! The first task we would want to resolve is online access. Once you are able to login online at My Verizon then you can perform a mobile telephone number change online and it's absolutely free! You can even reset the voice mail password online as well! If you need assistance with gaining access to the account online then feel free to send me a direct message with your full name, mobile number, and a brief summary of the issue and we can get this done for you!
Thank you...

How can I change the phone number for my I message

I have a new phone number but cannot get my iPad iMessage to change to the new number

I am assuming you have an iPhone? have you gone into Settings>Messages and updated everything there, if so I would have thought an option would then be present on the iPad.

How can I change the phone number in which security code is sent because I stay in China long time and buy a new iPadair. I cannot connect with iCloud.

I work in China, therefore, I stay in China for long time. I bought an iPadair and try to connect with iCloud, then asked me security code which is sent to my home phone in New York. I cannot get it. How can I connect the new one with iCloud. My name is David M Lee, have Apple, iCloud and iTune account.

If you are referring to the code for Apple ID two-step verification, you will need access to either one of your trusted devices or your Recovery Key. There is more information in the links below:

Your phone number is still linked to yoru AppleID & iMessage.
On the iPhone, Settings > Messages, turn off iMessages.
Also, follow these instructions -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
Then your husband will follow the setup procedure using his AppleID & his personal info.

How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
Thanks so much

The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

How can I change the phone number format?

When I first picked up my iPhone from Smartone Vodafone here in Hong Kong, it was setup to display the numbers correctly (ex: 1234-5678). I have since restored my iPhone several times and with the extra digit in there, iOS formats the first three numbers as if they are a US area code.
Anyone know how I can get the Hong Kong format back? I'd prefer to not have to enter +852 in front of all my HK contacts.
Thanks,
Hunter

I'm not entirely sure if this will work, but try going to Settings > General > International > Region Format > Hong Kong SAR China. Hopefully that will do the trick.
