Hi Sonya,
Your Online Number is linked to your subscription, which means as long as you have your subscription your Online Numbers is extended for free.
If you cancel or change your subscription you will need to start paying for your Online Number separately. Currently subscriptions don't include free Online Numbers.

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

Can I keep my phone number if I switch to a different carrier?

I have an iPhone 5 and will soon be upgrading to an iPhone 6 or maybe a 6s.
Currently I have a contract with Verizon. I am considering switching to a prepaid plan with T-Mobile.
I'm not sure this is correct, but my understanding is that phones for T-Mobile and Verizon use different types of SIM cards. I am wondering if I could keep the phone number I have had with Verizon if I switch to T-Mobile.
Can I do that?

The only way to locate any lost/stolen iPhone is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.

How can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

how can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

I delete people in my phone number but when I go to messages I found their number and name how I can delete them

There's no option to edit/delete the iPhone cache, the cache will be overwritten in time.
If you can't wait, only restore as new can get rid of it.

Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

- What happens when you try? Error message?
- Is the email addrese listed on her iPod in Settings>Messages>Send and receive?
- Is the same email address listed on your device in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive? If so it will not work.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How can I associate my Phone number to iMessage and FaceTime function?

Hi,
I need help to resolve a problem that a have in my iphone (iphone 5 with IOS 6.1).
I have the iMessage and Facetime associate to my ID apple email. However a would like to associade to my phone number but I dont have da number listed in iMessage.
I've tried to enter the phone number manually on the email field in iMessage but it gives a error.
Can anyone help me?
Best Regards

I have this issue too. To elaborate when I go in to facetime/imessage settings and go to the section "YOU CAN BE REACHED BY FACETIME AT" it only provides email addresses. My mobile number is there but its grayed out and cant be selected. People have told me when they try to facetime me now they get a message saying I'm unavailable for facetime. I'm assuming these are people still on ios 6 that are still able to call my number which evidently doesnt work anymore??
Same applies to imessage. Texts are sent from my email address now. I dont want this! I might want to text someone and not have them know my email address. I hope this is a bug or something. Anyone know?
