Changing the FaceTime phone number

I've read many of the threads on this board containing this question, and none of them seem to get a good answer. So I'm going to try again:
I have a new iPhone with a different phone number than my previous iPhone. I no longer own the previous phone number. When I set up my iCloud account in my new iPhone, it shows my old phone number associated with FaceTime. I assume that's because that phone number is associated with my iCloud account. Obviously I don't want my old number associated with iCloud, FaceTime, or anything else i... Does anyone here know how to change this? I've tried navigating through everything I can think of within iCloud and FaceTime and can't find anywhere that offers the option to change the number.
Thank you!

To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.

You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

How do I change the iMessage phone number on my iPad.

Hello:
I've searched and can't find this exact problem in any other thread. How do I change the iMessage phone nubmer on my iPad. It is NOT the same as my iTunes phone number.
My wife and I share an AppleID. When I updated my iPad to iOS6 her phone number became my iMessage phone number. Now, I get all her iMessages between her and her contacts and not my own. The email is still my iTunes account email.

If you go to General>Messages>ReceiveAt and then add an additional Apple ID, if you dont have an other Apple ID, you will have to create a new one. Also, if you dont want to receive your current messages, you can remove the number/Apple ID, but only if you have 2 or more Receiving accounts. (including your current) If you dont want to use iMessage at all, just simply switch iMessage from "On" to "Off"
Hope this helped,
From hamishryan6

How do I change the secure phone number for keychain?

Hi
I was setting up keychain and put in the wrong phone number. Now some random keeps getting my Verification Code for Keychain sent to them.
How do I change this please?!
Thank you!

To change the number on (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4644):
Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

Can I change the default phone number format?

I a new BB user and have so much to learn! I got a Storm (bad choice) 6 weeks ago and thought BBs were ridiculous. Then I got the Tour and am pobably converted for life.
In my contacts, most of my phone numbers show up as 4395551234 which is hard to read. I have some others that show (439) 555-1234. I have added dashes to some numbers to make them easier to see. Is there anyway to change the option so numbers are automatically displayed in a certain format? And why would some be different than others? I can't figure out a reason some are changed.
BTW, I am a devoted Mac user and love the new Desktop Software.

It is one of the great mysteries of BBdom why users must look at a long string of 10 digits on an incoming call notification instead of having them broken down into more readable form. Truly bizarre.

Anyone known how to change the stored phone number in the iphone 4s?

Strange. Maybe I'm at cross purposes, but I get this:

I can not change the registered phone number with imessage

Since your phone is up to date, try going into Settings>Store>Apple ID and replace the old one with the new one. Plug into the computer with the new Apple ID and transfer your purchases.

I have a new IPad mini and it is linked to my daughters phone number. How do I change to my phone number?

Use a different Apple ID for iMessage (and FaceTime). You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes purchasing but you should have separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime. To change the ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

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.

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.
