Cannot add my phone number to imessage

answer pls

On you iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and confirm that your phone number is listed under "You can by reached by iMessage at".  (If it's grayed out, that's normal.)  Assuming it is, on your iPad, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in, ensuring that you are using the same ID you are using for iMessage on your phone.  See if it now shows your phone number.

  • How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

    Use a free email address like gmail.com.

  • Add a phone number to iMessage with an iPod touch?

    Hello everyone! I recently bought my iPod touch 5th generation, and I'm loving it. However, I was wondering if I could add a phone number too instead of only an email? I don't see that option anywhere except to add another email. Since lots of people ha e my phone number too, I was hoping I could a phone number as well. Thanks all!! :)

    Sharvin2012,
    The only way that people could "call" you through a system app on an iPod touch is through FaceTime. In FaceTime, people contact you by "calling" an email address that you can control in the settings.
    Some apps from the App Store might have the ability to call other iOS devices over Wi-Fi.
    Adding a phone number in the Contacts app is no problem, if that's what you mean. When editing a contact, it's one of the first few fields.

  • I need to add a phone number to iMessage, how do I do this and link it with my account.

    Hi bamba,
    Open Messages on your Mac, click on Preferences>Accounts. At the bottom you will see "Start New Messages From" - click on your iPhone number from the dropdown.

    how do I add a phone number to IMessage on my iPad ai?

    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

  • My iPad is getting iMessages from a past user and won't let me add my phone number. Help!

    Hello,
    I recently was gifted an iPad 3 from my boyfriend to use as I please, since he got a new one.  I also recently got an iPhone 5.  He had the ipad set up to his phone number, and when I logged his apple ID out of setting>apples&itunes and put mine in, and also went to settings>messages>and added my apple account info, it only gives me a check mark for my email, and not one for my phone number.
    When it was logged into his account, he had a checkmar I next to his email and his phone number, so he would receive all his iMessages through his ipad. I don't see anywhere to add a phone number.  Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?
    I hope that made sense.
    Thank you!!!

    You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.

  • Is it possible for a person to add your phone number into their imessage on an ipad without a notification popping up on your number?

    I have a suspicion that someone has added my phone number into their imessage and can read all my texts with no notification sent to my phone.  Is it possible to add a phone number to your imessage without that device getting a notification?

    I use multiple iOS devices at my house, on my two (phone and ipad) I have my family AppleID we use for all purchases as my iMessage userid, on my wifes iPad we made a new ID Just for her messaging and installed that.
    When she sends me an IM I get it on both devices. When i send to her its only her ipad.

  • Why won't my iMessage let my add my phone number?

    I am new to iPhone and can't get my IMessage to use my phone number as a receive at point. All the how to's I've read about it says you can. Someone please help.

    Ok. I have iMessage working as an email based messaging system.  Unfortunately it wont let me add my phone number as a "receive at" location.  My phone number is on my phone under the general-phone-my number, and it is also listed in my contacts and set as settings-mail,contacts,calenders-my info. Please give any advise on how to either fix this problem or reset only iMessage so I can start over.

  • Send and Receive  in iMessage only shows my AppleID and not my phone number. How do I add the phone number to where I can be reached?

    Send and Recieve in iMessage only shows my Apple ID and not my phone number and I can't send nor receive messages from any other phones except iPhones. How do I get my phone number to show up so that I can send and receive SMS text messages and not just iPhone iMessage texts between only other iPhones?

    Where is the Start new conversations from??? When I go to Send & Receive, there is no where to add or set to receive at my phone number. There is only a setting to Add Another Email and my Apple Id is already there. No place or way to add a phone number to receive at. I also have a lasting Waiting for activation... under iMessage ON but no place for my phone number although it shows up as My number under Phone.
