    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

  • Anybody know how to change your MSDN account phone number?

    The phone number used when my MSDN account was established is no long a valid (non-working) number.  I want to start using the MSDN Azure benefit but to activate it requires it to send you a text or get a call at the phone number on you account.  I've
    search all over my profile and can change my email address, time zone, country, language, yada, yada, yada, but nowhere have I found a way to change the phone number.
    Does anyone know where to go or how to change the MSDN account phone number?
    Eternally grateful,

    Pretty sure what you're looking for F-I-Ph is at https://account.microsoft.com.  I see a "phones" tab on my version of that page.

    No, they didn't.

    Call customer care and have the phone shut off from your account.

  • How do you change the original registered phone number on the 3GS?

    I am using a new sim in the 3Gs but the registered phone number on the device details remains the same so when you use imessaging it displays the old phone number.  How do I change this?

    Usually phone picks up this information automatically from the SIM.
    You can change it from SETTINGS - PHONE - MY NUMBER

  • How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
    That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

  • How to change "My Number" in Settings Phone ?

    I've change my carrier recently and the number in "Settings" > "Phone" > "My Number" is displayed "Unknown". Does anyone know how to change it? 'Cause I even can't click it to change it manually. Thank's!!

    Did you already sync your phone in iTunes? Do you get the same result in the summary pane?

  • Changing my pre-paid phone number

    I am writing this post after spending 2 hours on the phone with the automated system and going through 4 "live" people. All I wanted to do was change my WA phone number to an AK phone number. The automated system would give me a new phone number, then tell me it couldn't do it, then hang up on me. No offer to talk to a live person. I would get back on the number and wait as the choices it gave me was, "or hold and talk to an expert." When I would wait to talk to the expert, it would go through a menu and then finally hang up on me, saying, "sorry you are having trouble, good-bye." I finally tried another number and did get live people. It turns out that in AK they can't change the phone number if your phone is not 4G and it turns out not in my area. Well I have a pre-paid phone that had $304.00 on the account because I don't use it much. So I asked if I could cancel my automatic payment each month and continue to use the phone until the money was gone. That took holding and back and forth with "corporate." They offered me a "deal" Pay 2 months and they will extend my due date 6 months. I did not want this as I felt that I should not have to pay more to use the money I already put on the phone. After "haggling", they would not help me with that. My husband told me to go ahead and pay $30 and try to use up my $ in 6 months. I will not use Verizon again for the fact that every time we have been on the phone with customer service we spend over an hour and have come away with no answer or a frustrating conversation. This was definitely the "straw" that broke my back. I thought that pre-paid was a convenience, but it is not. There is no way to get out of it without paying. I did pre-paid to avoid a contract, but I was misinformed. I am frustrated and very disappointed with Verizon. We had them for our home phone until Frontier bought them and I had them for my cell phone and could use my little pre-paid phone anywhere and bragged about it when all my family and friends had smart phones that would not work in some areas. I would think that they could extend the time on my phone for at least a year without me having to pay more. After all they took the money from my credit card automatically every month. It is my money and I should be able to use it. Any one else have to deal with this?

    You can't, you can only use your iTunes account to buy items from iTunes

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.

  • WANT TO CHANGE SIGN IN AND PHONE #

    I want to change my user name, phone number and password .  How can I do this?

    For an app, or just for the iPad? You need to be more specific about what you want to do.

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • TS1347 Dear apple, The governments of Saudi Arabia has changed its weekend from THR&FRI to FRI&SAT, Therefore the start day of the week became SUN. unfortunately all Iphone user could not adjust this change on their I phones . So will you  please facilita

    Dear apple,
    The governments of Saudi Arabia has changed its weekend from THR&FRI to FRI&SAT,
    Therefore the start day of the week became SUN. unfortunately all Iphone user could not adjust this change on their I phones .
    So will you  please facilitate us on this matter.
    Regards

    Give apple feedback regarding this.
    For a temporary fix, change your region? Get a 3rd party Calendar app that fits your needs?
    I assume your current region is set in the photo?
    If so, pick a region that has a start day of Sunday. (either historically or known for the present)
    Note, with changing your region, it will change the default phone number prefix/country code for new contacts and addresses. (calling and SMS is not affected)
