Changing the phone number associated with iMessage in my iPad

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 3s, then an iPad 2' which then synced to my iPhone, using the same apple ID. This meant that the iMessage was synced between the iPad and the iPhone. All good so far.
I have now bought a new Iphone 5 , in addition to the iPhone 3, which has a new number. I change the phone number in my Apple ID to the new number, but my iPad still synced its iMessages with the old phone, not the new phone.
I intend to cancel he service with the old iPhone 3 and stop using that number.
However, I cannot find a way to change the number in my iPad to the new one.
I would appreciate some tips on how to do this. Thanks.

You will most likely have to sign out of Messages and FaceTime on all devices and start the process of setting up both apps all over again with the newest iPhone number - on the new iPhone. You can read this for more information. It tells you how you can link a phone number with your iDevices. The most pertinent information will be at the end of the kb article.

How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on. If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out. Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct. Then sign in on your iPad.

Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.

I bought my wife an IPad 2 and when setting it up it said I could change the phone number later in settings. Now when I get a text-- she gets a copy on her IPad. I can't see where in settings to change this to her phone number.

TS4268 How do change your phone number associated with iMessage on iPad?

when ipad was set up wrong phone number was entered for imessages and facetime. How do you edit or delete it and enter correct phone number?

I believe this would work except the phone number associated with ipad is not correct. If I follow these steps, the wrong phone number would be setup once again since the iphone's number used at the initial setup of the ipad is not the correct number.
Two different iphones:
Setup now: iphone B with ipad A
Need:iphone A with ipad A
Does this make sense?

HT5622 My husband and I share the same apple id for our iphones, how do we change the phone number associated with our apple id to his phone number? He is getting my messages because the ipod has my number in it not his?

My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?

Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
If he does not have an ID then
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

How do I change the phone number associated with my messages and facetime? It's tied to my husband's number, and needs to be switched to mine.

I'm trying to change the number associated with our ipad's facetime and messages to my number, not my husbands. When I look under settings, it shows his number, but I don't see the opportunity to change or edit the number.

It will not send notifications for that number to that devcie if turnmed off but the number is still active if selected on other devices.
Messages is lionked through the use of your Apple ID and any numbers or email associated to that ID can be set as notifications.
The Phone numbers seem to be registered before email in messages and the easiest method for setup that I have found is to turn messages off on asll devices that you have under that Apple ID.
Then start with your iphone first, turn messagaes on, wait a few minutes for it to completly register.
Then go to the next device and do the same until complete, with each new device A prompt should come up asking if you want to associate the previous contact metyhod with this device.
Here is a help topic from apple on messges as well.

How do I change the phone number associated with my iCloud account after replacing my phone and switching carriers/getting a new phone number?

I recently replaced my lost iPhone but in the process, had to switch carriers and activate a new phone number. I backed the new phone up from iCloud which was still attached to the old number (for example, when I attempt to sync Keychains, the security code continues to be sent to the old number). I'm looking to update my iCloud account with the new phone number so I can sync my devices and any I might get in the future. Help! Please!
Thanks
