Changing cell phone number

Okay so my friend was given a phone it is in active right know but was wondering how much it would cost to activate it with a new number the phone with still be on the original plan.

If the phone is currently active on a current number, it will need to be deactivated before it can be used on another number.  If it isnot currently active, you can dial *228 option 1 and follow the prompt to activate it on a different number.
Your best bet would be to call customer service and explain what you want to do - we are simply other customers and cannot do anything specific to your account.
Your question was a bit unclear, so I'm confused on exactly what you want to do, and that makes it hard to say what it will cost, if anything. Call customer service from a phone not involved in the swap, and let them help you work it out.

    If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone.  If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • Hey i was wondering if you could change your iChat account name to your cell phone number ?

    Is there a way to change it from your email to a cell phone number?

    HI,
    I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
    AIM accounts (Screen Names) can be linked to some extent to Mobile/Cell phone
    https://settings.aim.com/  You need to Log in here to see more info in the Mobile setting
    You can also Send SMS to US based phones (on Carriers that support this)
    http://www.aim.com/  Scroll down the page a little.
    Basically an US based Cell Phone Number can be added As If it is a Buddy.  (Technically the Computer has to be set to the US to see the menu items in some version of iChat).
    My the time you update to Mountain Lion then the Messages app has iMessages added to what iChat can do.
    The iMessages account can link and then sync iMessages sent to an iPhone Number  and /or and Apple ID.
    It will work on the Mac version of Messages meaning you can Send If you were the iPhone (number)  and also receive iMessages sent to the iPhone number)
    The same is true on the iPhone it can Receive and Send from both.
    I chat can not do this last item.
    There is no way that I now of to "Spoof" a phone number as the Screen Name  other than th Mobile Link in the first item I linked you to.

  • Changed iCloud phone number; not updated for keychain response after 3 days.

    Hi,
    I was correcting a keychain error that can occur (it seems) that asks for about 10-15 local keychain password checks upon booting.
    That issue is logged in the forum and easy to correct.
    What subsequently was required was resetting my keychains on my devices that required the security code challenge.
    Since neither of my pad or macbook are authorised to counter-authorise, I need to go via my registered phone number.
    All pretty basic stuff.
    So, when I realise that the security code message is being sent to my OLD cell-number I change it on my iCloud and expect it to change in my account and the entire system within 15-30 minutes, which would be quite normal and go from there.
    I was wrong.
    Since changing my phone number, which is still maintained on my iCloud account, I still get the system request stating the message is being sent to my old number.
    Yes, I have logged out of all my iCloud activities and rebooted and logged-in again to see if that has anything to do with it. To avail.
    Now it has been 3 days and the old number still appears in the security code request process on all devices on all panes that can be used..
    Any ideas???

  • HT204053 the wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad

    The wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad when I put in my apple id. I have got to my apple.com and changed my phone number and it still won't change. I have even reset my iPad to correct it and didn't work. UGH! Help!

    Are you referring to messaging, it sounds as though you are sharing your ID with others.

  • I changed my phone number but my iMessage still sends using my old number

    I changed my number to a new area code. However, whenever I message a contact, they receive the message from my old cell phone number. When I go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, it lists my email address and my old cell phone number. However, there is no way for me to change the number listed. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? My mobile carrier was of no help (obviously)...

    Turn imessage off and reactivate it

    Maybe.  Your phone should have settings to set forwarding for all calls to your T-Mobile number. If you enable that, your T-Mobile phone won't ring anymore, but you could still use your phone to make calls and for sending/receiving SMS or MMS messages. 
    If you are asking about forwarding calls when the mobile phone is on but you don't answer the phone, instead of those calls going to a T-Mobile voicemail system, you *may* be able to change that.  T-Mobile doesn't let you do that on a prepaid phone, and that appears to be the same if you use some other prepaid services that ride on T-Mobile's network like Straight Talk. It may be possible on a postpaid plan (one where you get a monthly invoice to pay). 
    As for what T-Mobile would charge, you'd have to check on your plan or contact T-Mobile.  Some plans have unlimited calling that includes call-forwarding, others only provide for a certain number of minutes for call-forwarded calls a month, and then there are some "plans" that make you pay for anything that is call-forwarded from your T-Mobile number.  The T-Mobile web site may be able to help answer that, or a call to their customer service number will need to be made.
    Good luck!

  • How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

    How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

    Thanks again Chris.
    I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
    Thanks for your help,
    Larry
