Face Time.... wrong phone number

Face Time worked perfectly when I just had a personal iphone and ipad.
Ive not got a work iphone and ipad too - Ive sorted the e-mail addresses as contacts but for the phone number, it only shows my work phone number not my personal and I need to change this. Cant find how to do this anywhere.
HELP!

Your post is unclear. What is showing your work number? Contacts?

TS4062 new iphone lists wrong phone number when trying to sync with itunes

I received my new iphone 4s in the mail and when I try adding it to my itunes for syncing the wrong phone number shows up. The phone works and the number is correct but the one Itunes recognizes is a different number.

I received the phone by mail. I had ATT activate it with my old phone number I had on a blackberry. Everything works fine. The number under settings>phone> my number is the correct phone number.
It's when I try to add this phone to Itunes with a USB cable, itunes recognizes a different number. So i'm guessing the sim came with that number and when ATT activated the phone with my correct number, that this number is still in the phone memory somehow.
At ATT they say the phone is fine. My new number is recognized and works properly. It's just that when adding it to my itunes the new number is not recognized on the initial setup screen.
I'm not even sure this matters but itunes recognizes this phone with a different number than the one that works.

Face Time uses wrong phone number

I have two iphone 5Ss on a single apple id account. my wife's iphone/face time uses her phone number and our primary email address, while my iphone uses a secondary email. the problem is, my face time settings has a check mark by our secondary email, but no check marks by my wife's phone number and our primary email. even though my iphone settings for phone/my number is correct, i can't get face time to list my phone number as an option. Although my wife and i can facet time with each other, i'd very much like to associate the face time account on my iphone with my iphone's actual phone number. any ideas on fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

How can I use two different wireless home phone terminals, different locations, one at a time same phone number

I have two locations and want to have a wireless home phone at each location with the same home phone number. Only one terminal will be used at a time.

That's not what a cell phone is.
You are talking about some kind of a separate communication system. Like a walkie talkie or something that works over broadcast. IP phones may be able to do something like that but you would somehow have to register the system to a single cell phone number, which wont work without a SIM card.

I accidentally put in the wrong phone number in to verify my iCloud Keychain... How can I go back and fix it?

So I updated my iPhone5 this morning to iOS 7.03 right, then it asked me for my phone number to verify my iCloud Keychain. The problem with that is that I accidentally put in the wrong number. How am I suppose to fix that? How can I go back and put my actual number in?

My iMessage phone number is wrong on my phone

Hi,
You have posted in Mavericks (the previous Mac OS X) forum whilst only listing iOS items.
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages > Send and Receive the phone number is greyed out.
It should be ticked.
However I have had two occasions when the tick disappeared.
The remedy is to removes the Apple ID option
Set the phone to Airplane Mode to break with the Servers. (for a few mins)
On going back to the settings wait until the iPhone Number is verified.
Test an iMessages by sending it to the Apple ID.
If this works add back the Apple ID.
Any Mac that you have using iMessages in that version of Messages will get a pop up about the details the iPhone is using.
Accept this again.

Autofill puts in wrong phone number

Autofill under Lion insists of putting in my fax number as my home phone number in forms under Safari. I changed the order of phone numbers in my Address Book, tried all sorts of other things, but it continues to use the wrong number as my phone number. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Someone said, INCORRECTLY, the following:
"In Safari, go to Safari / Preferences / Autofill.
Click the first Edit - there are three of them. You can change the info that way."
That was labeled as having solved the problem. SO I went to that Autofill screen, but that has many phone numbers and many email addresses, and Safari Autofill now often grabs different ones, not only the second entry, instead of the primary one. So we are in agreement, and this should have been fixed by now with the opportuntiy to check off which entry you wish to have Autofill use.

My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
I have tried-
1. Turning it off and on again.
2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

Hi,
When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
I would contact Apple Support and check with them. (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

My message center in settings shows the wrong phone number, how do I change it

Under settings, messages, send and receive. The phone number listed is my husbands number. How can I change it to mine? It was originally listed under my number.

Go slightly deeper into the settings. You should be looking in Settings>FaceTime>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
If your phone number is no longer listed as one of the options in that setting, you may have to turn off messages on all of your iOS devices and start all over again in order to make both phone numbers available and accessible for FaceTime and Messages.

How can I change the phone number that I put when setting up iCloud keychain?

iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

Facetime is showing wrong phone number

Hi,
I got a new iphone a few months ago, and got my old number transferred over - but I have just noticed that when I look in the setting's - the number that can receive facetimes is the old number that came with the phone, not the new number that was moved over.
How can I change this so that I can receive FT's on my new number? It won't let me add another phone number to the settings as I already have my workphone attached to my apple id.
Thanks!

Wrong phone number when i text others

I just recently changed my phone number, and when i text certain people it shows my old phone number. What can i do about this? Has anyone ever had this issue??

Are these regular SMS or iMessage? If iMessage, then you need to go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn iMessage off. Wait a few moments and then turn it back on. It should activate with the new number.
