Deleting a single phone number?

I would like to delete one phone number at a time instead of having to clear all the phone numbers in my "Recents" screen. Does anyone know how?

That's true and surprising. Still it does have the best user interface on the market, and is supported by updates, so that features like this can and hopefully will be added in the not too distant future.

How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start just turning the option off isn't the same.

See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

The Work phone number which I deleted is not reflected in Lync Client.

Hello All,
The Work phone number which I deleted is not reflected in Lync Client. It's been more than 48 hours since I deleted the work phone number in AD. But still the same number listed in the lync contact card. Client policy has been set to 'File download
only' and Lync client Galcontacts.db has the present date so no issues in downloading the address book file.
I did the following but the issue is same.
>> Forced the address book by shell commands in Lync server to get the new full file generated but no luck after.
>> Added 'GalDownloadInitialDelay' reg key but still issue persists.
>> Deleted all suggested contacts, frequent contacts from outlook contacts and also deleted the 'ContactStateCacheU' registry key but no luck.
Please let me know if anyone has this issue fixed.
Much thanks.

Hi,
So the user is EV enabled and has a LineURI. Is that LineURI number the same number that you removed from AD? For example:
1. I removed (555) 555-1212 from my Work Number AD field for John Doe
2. John Doe has a LineURI of tel:+15555551212
If so, that is expected. LineURIs are also taken into consideration when building a user's contact card. If you do not want this number to show up in the GAL, you will need to look at a
private line for that user.

Want External Phone Number Mask to say "Unknown Caller" Is this Possible?

When a user dials an external # is it possible to have it show on Caller ID as "Unknown Caller"?
I have deleted the # that is currently in the External Phone Number Mask, and left it blank, but the Coporate# now shows when he dials out.
This is something that only needs to be setup for 1 user, not the entire company.

There will always be some number/name displayed. If you do not put in a number in the outside mask, the number/name associated with the smart trunk will be displayed.
You might talk to your local phone company and see if they can restrict the numbers or a single phone number. If they can do that on even one number, you can put it into the mask for all of your phones.
Two other problems you might have with this. One, a lot of people (I do) block calls from phones that do not display a phone numbers.
Another problem you are going to run into is when someone calls "911" by accident. The Police/fire will try to call back to the number for the smart trunk. And since most often is not on a phone. They will send cars or trucks to the address listed for those smart trunks. Usually the billing address for your company.

How do I remove phone number from iMessage on one device only

Hi there, I recently upgraded my iphone 4 for an iphone 6 and we decide to let my niece have the old iphone 4 with our account set up so that she can have the apps that we have as well. Now, I am able to deactivate iMessage but I don't want her to "accidentally" turn it on and I noticed that if she were to do it she could select my phone number and start receiving iMessages addressed to my phone number. Is there a way to completely delete/remove my phone number only from that iphone? Thanks for the help

Hey there Eminent Czar,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below will walk you through the process of unlinking the phone number from your Apple ID on the iPhone 4, so that it doesn’t receive iMessages that were intended for your new iPhone 6.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Unlink a phone number
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.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Cheers,
-Jason

Phone number keeps reappearing

Hi,
I've removed my cell phone number from my skype profile multiple times now, both from within Skype (Edit profile) and from Skype.com (Profile details > Phones).
But every time I do that it reappears after a few days/weeks (not sure, as I don't check often).
Is there a way to completely delete my cell phone number from my Skype profile? Why does it reappear in the first place?
Thanks,
Buddy J.

Anyone? It really worries me that something I supposedly deleted suddenly shows up again.

Hi, my family all uses the same AppleID we never had a problem until this morning. I got a "phone number added to Iphone, Iphone is now using xxx-xxx-xxxx message it was my husbands number so I accepted it.

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old and enter the new. Then when I text or call the old number shows up as a selection yet it's no longer under the contacts info.

When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old number and enter the new number. When I try to text or call, both the old a new numbers. One up as a selection choice, even though the old number is gone from the contact.

That's normal behavior as the old one will remain in the memory cache for a while until it's eventually overwritten. If it's particularly bothersome to you, you can restore your phone as NEW and this will empty the cache.

TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this? i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory? I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

You would have to restore as new.

How to delete a phone number from messages

When I try to send a message to a certain person (for example Joseph), I start typing the name into the 'To' box, the list starts to populate, and there is a number in the list that should not be there. It says Joseph other and a telephone number. It does not appear in my contacts. It does not appear in other messaging apps, so presumably it is from some history. I can find it nowhere else. How can I delete it. I have no previous messages to that number, or any other number, because I delete all old messages.

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If not... you may have been scammed.
