Can I have the same phone number on an iPhone and an iPad with cellular?

I currently have an iPhone 4s and am interested in getting an iPad Air.  I'm interested in the cellular option for iPad, but don't want to give up my smaller, portable phone.  Is it possible have one phone number for both devices?

No, the cellular version of an iPad will have it's own number associated with it.
You would, however, be able to sign into the same Apple ID account and receive iMessages on both devices for that account. Keep in mind that you would not receive SMS messages sent to that account, only iMessages, so any texts you receive from non-iPhone people or iPhone people with iMessage disabled would only be received on the iPhone.

  • I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad. If i turn off "find my iPhone" on my iPad, will it also be turned off on my iPhone?

    My iPhone is broken, but I have to turn off find my iPhone. So without a working iPhone I had to do it with my iPad. I have the same Apple ID on my iPhone and iPad, and I have turned off find my iPhone(iPad) on my iPad, but is it then turned off on my iPhone as well? And if it is not, what can i do to turn it off, now that i can't do it with the phone?

    I do not think so, but the easiest way to find out is to try it.
    edit: after rereading your post, there is not a way to try it with a broken phone. If the phone is broken, I think I would destroy it. Then it is a moot question.

  • HT1711 I have an itunes account with my own music (non purchased).  I have loaded the playlists to my iphone and ipod.  How can I load the same music on my wifes iphone and ipad

    How do I syn my own music (non purchased) from my itunes account to my wifes iphone and ipad

    Does your wife sync her phone with a different computer or iTunes.
    If so you need to copy that music to that iTunes
    If she syncs with the same iTunes as you do just select your music and sync as normal

  • Can I have the same Apple ID on 3 devices and have different Game Centre accounts ?

    Please help

    Sign into Game Center on the devices under a different Apple ID. If it is already signed into another account, I think you can go into settings and change it.

  • Can i have multiple iphones with the same phone number?

    If I upgrade to iPhone6 can I: a) keep my 4s operational with the same phone number; or b) must I get a new number for one of the two?

    I don't believe your cellular provider will provision 2 SIM cards with the same number. You can forward calls, if your carrier supports it, from one phone to the other depending on which one you have with you.

  • TS2755 Why do some of the imessages go in green, and some go in blue, when sending to the same phone number? Does it have anything to do with the cellular carrier?

    Can someone please tell me why when you are sending a message to the same phone number, and they also have a I-phone, that some of the messages go in blue and you can see that it has been delivered and read, and some messages go in green and you can't see if they got the messageor if they have read the message?

    SMS messages are shown in green, iMessages in blue. If the recipient is an iPhone user but doesn't have a data (WiFi or cellular) connection and you have Settings>Messages>Send as SMS enabled, that person will get your messages as SMSs until they have a data connection again.
    iMessages have delivered notification (and read notification if the recipient has that feature enabled). SMS does not.
    Best of luck.

  • Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone.  Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue.  We can only hear every other word.

    Verizon iPhone 5, 64GB black - is anyone having issues with a very choppy conversation while talking on the phone?  Both my wife and I have the same phones and are both having the same issue.  We can only hear every other word of the person we are talking to.  This happens at home, on the road and in the downtown area while calling both cellphones and landlines. It is intermittent, so we don't know exactly when it will reoccur.  Absolutely no problem with data.  The data speed is great.

  • I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • Aperture replaces images with other images that have the same image number

    Help! Aperture has started replacing images in recent projects with older images from elsewhere on my hard drive that have the same image number. Obviously I need a better numbering system, but can someone help me figure out why this is happening? I store master files on an external drive and the "replacement" files seem to be coming from identically named images on my local HD or in iPhoto.

    I started renaming all of my images when I import them. I'm using referenced images to an external drive, although I still have a bunch of older images stored in the Aperture library under my old numbering system (which was basically whatever image number the camera generated)....need to move them all to the external drive but haven't had time.
    So here's the latest problem: Today, Aperture started replacing images in albums (referenced images with unique file names under my new system) with old images even though the file names weren't even remotely close. It also replaced the images with the preview for the old image (230 pixels wide). "Show master" showed me the preview for the old image, not the correct image.
    I tried forcing an update to the preview, but it had no effect. The real masters are intact on the external drive, but this is really scaring me. It happens out of the blue, right in front of me...I watch as my images appear to be replaced with random old images in Aperture. It appears to have nothing to do with file names, as I'm now using totally unique file names.

  • How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.
