Changing phone number because of cold callers

Does anyone know how much it costs to get your phone number changed?
Even though i'm registered with the tps i'm getting harrassed by cold callers phoning every single day. Most of the calls are from india but some are from the UK.
They are driving me up the wall and I need to get my number changed.

If you would like to try Live Chat they should be able to help you.
I think it cost about £30, but you may end up with a number that gets even more calls, as they are all recycled numbers.
You may wish to consider some of the options described on my website below, under the phone problems menu.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

How can I change keychain linked phone number because I cannot access account

How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

That is the expected behavior. You will also no longer be alerted to any updates for that content.
If any of the content is sold in the new country's store and you find out through the grapevine about an update, you can update the content for free, but you will have to go through the steps for buying the update as a new purchase. Then the store will notice in the final steps that you own this content and update for free. It is the end of the road for any content from the previous country that is not sold in the current country's store. You will not be able to update the content in the new store.

HT5622 change phone number associated with facetime appleid

I am trying to change the phone number associated with the appleID for facetime. How do I that?

You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

Change phone number associated with apple id

Why can you not change the phone number associated with an apple id? I recently bought a new iPhone 5s and gave my 4s to my husband. When he put his sim card in the 4s, it seems like a message came up asking if he wanted to use that number for iMessage and I clicked yes never knowing it was going to change the phone number I have associated with my Apple id. He is not tech savy at all and we both share the same Apple id. I have always had my phone number associated with it and so when I get an iMessage it comes on my Mac computer, iPad, and iPhone--which I like. Now my computer and iPad only have his number with it and there is not an option to add my number back. My phone still shows my cell number associated with iMessage. I am afraid to update my phone in case it knocks me off of iMessage. I have tried the signing in and out of IMessage and Face time on my computer and iPad and that does not help. I just want to change the phone number associated with it.

FaceTime (after changing phone number)

Hi there,
I bought an iPhone 4 on launch day, used FaceTime and worked fine. However I have since changed my number with my mobile network, now people cannot FaceTime me.
If I FaceTime them though it shows up with my old number and if they then try to FaceTime my old number it works! Very confusing I know.
Is there a way I can get this so it knows to FaceTime my new number?
Thanks

I think I have found the answer for this problem it worked for me I copied this from another website so thanks to him!!
Sometimes you might have the wrong number showing under the field "My number" and the field is not editable.
This might be either because you have ported your older number from a different network (via PUK code) to a new one or that you have changed sim
Do the following to correct this:
1) Switch of Wi-FI and make sure you get 3G receptiion
2) Switch off Facetime and for few seconds
3) Go to phone under settings and you should have the correct number
4) Switch facetime back on by entering your iTunes credentials
Hope this helped some of you

Changed phone number, now phone won't work properly

After weeks of calls for the former phone owner the last @4AM, I initiated a number change. As soon as I hung up, the phone began to work differently. Bad signal, voice calls say dialing, but never go through. IE browsing doesn't work. A tech yesterday had me switch from Global mode to CDMA, which made things work better, but not like the phone used to be. My wife bought the same phone same time and hers still has the right number of bars and 3G on. Mine now goes to 1X or 3G one bar. It is a little disconcerting to think something as simple as a number change could make a nice phone all but a paperweight...obviously if the phone was great before, then not working right afterwards, there is an issue. Tech went through all the settings on the phone. *228 etc. Suggestion was to leave in CDMA mode...yet again, phone didn't need this before and it didn't restore signal and speed that was present proof to number change.
Help please!

While I unfortunately have no idea how to fix it, I just wanted to let you know I feel your pain. I am in college, and last year I was living in the same apartment complex I lived in the year before, just a different apartment. I had the exact same phone both years, the original Droid. Yet for some reason, last year there was a 2 block radius around my apartment where I had absolutely no service whatsoever. I had to buy a network extender, and this only worked half the time. I went through EIGHT Droids, before they finally gave me a Droid 2. This Droid 2 worked with the network extender, but it made no sense to me why this was even an issue. My roommate had the HTC Incredible with Verizon, and his phone worked just fine. I went through so many tech support guys at Verizon, made it to level 3 numerous times, and they never could figure out why in the world this was happening. Go figure. They suggested changing phone numbers, but I did not do this, because I didn't want to and it made no sense why this would fix the issue. Heck, they only said it might fix the problem anyway.
Now I have the HTC Trophy and I am living in a different apartment complex. It works fine here and I ventured over that way just to test it out and it worked fine there. Makes absolutely no sense. But yeah, I feel your pain and I hope you solve your issue.

How can I change phone number in Contact List in IOS 7?

After upgrading to IOS 7, I cannot change the front IDD number.
Whenever I tried to ''backspace"/"X" the number, it duplicates and keep on duplicate the new number I typed.
For Example hte original number is: 1666-0044-123456
and I want to change to 0060-0044-123456
then I 'blackspace" numbers before "1666", and type "0060'", then it duplicates to " 00600060"
everytime it duplicates numbers i typed.
When I tried to delete the whole number, the phone stopped working.
How can I do?

The iPad uses the user's email address, not a phone number, for iMessage. Go here on the iPad:
Settings -> Messages
and change the Send and Receive setting to her email address rather than yours.

My imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number. I delete my phone number and are unable to click on my phone number because its greyed out. PLEASE HELP ME

my imessage is hooked up to my email and not my phone number. i deleted my email and am unable to click on my number because its blacked out. WHAT DO I DO?

But my whole issue is that I can't get on my moms phone to turn it off. I'm asking even if I make a new Apple ID and under send and receive click on these two options,
send and receive messages at:
-248-25x-xxxx(my number)
[email protected](new Apple ID I made)
will my messages still be sent to my moms phone even though I'm using a different Apple ID. because on hers, it has her number, my number and her Apple ID all turned on. If I'm not making sense I'll try and explain better. But currently her send and receive looks like this:
send and receive messages at:
-248-79x-xxxx(her number)
-248-25x-xxxx
[email protected]

Using iMessage after changed phone number

I have recently changed my phone number (i am still using iPhone 4 with the new ios7.4), and my iMessage and facetime stop working, I have tried to restart the phone and signed in again with my apple ID, initially it detected the new phone number, but when iMessage turned on, it changed back to the old number again, I have tried turn on and off iMessage, turn and off iphone but it still doesnt work, is there anything I need to do specifically to ensure my iPhone recognised my new number?

Hey, thanks for the reply :-)
it is possible here in Austria to merge 2 phone number on 1 sim card, so there i have A as main number and B as sub-number.
right now, i'm having only company number in the list at iMessage and my private number is gone. Is it possible, to enter my private number there manually?
hope that everybody understands it
SIM A Company Nr.
SIM B Private Nr.
->
SIM A Company Nr. (Main) + Private Nr. (Sub.)
