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

  • 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.)

  • IMessage not working with ONE contact after changing phone number

    Ok.. I changed my phone number Friday night. (same device) Once I restarted my phone and programmed it (*228) everything was working fine except one contact with iMessage. Since Friday night just one contact will only go through as SMS message. My other imessage users are all going back and forth as blue. This person I am having the problem with is also sending and receiving imessages with other contacts, just to me it is going through as text as well. Any help? I've shut iMessage off and on a bunch of times, turned the phone on and off... nothing seems to be working.. Any advice would be great!

    I have the same trouble with one of my contacts and I have been using my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) for a while. I hope we can get a solution.

  • Changed phone number, phone no longer working.

    I have an LG Lucid 4G phone that is no longer working after changing the phone number.  The area code for the new number is the same as the old.  This was done online and the instructions stated that all I needed to do was a power cycle and the phone would update automatically.   I did this but the phone did not update.  The number shown online for the phone is the new number so it looks like the change has taken place just not on the phone.  I also tried a reset and then pulling the battery and sim card but the phone still will not update.  Going to "about phone"  and viewing the phone number the old number is still there.
    Is it possible I need a new sim card or is there something else that could be the problem?

    After changing the number online (from my home PC).  I did a power cycle on the phone but it did not update.  I then logged off of myverizon then back on and the new number was reflected on my account.  This was done from my home PC.  I tried another power cycel on the phone but would not  update.  At this point I tried a reset with no luck.  Finally, I tried pulling the battery and sim card, powering on and still would not update.

  • After the change of the SIM card in the settings imessage and facetime changed phone number. How do I return the previous numbers?

    Put the sim card into your iphone from my mother's ipad to use the iPhone as a modem. Then did it the way it was before. After some time noticed that my wife on her iphone imessage does not come with a phone number, and from my email. While setting up my iphone to install the phone number of the SIM card ipad, you can not change the phone number of my sim card. At the same time, the phone settings - in the "Contact" - my number is registered correctly.

    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. If your iPhone number appears in there, select it as your contact address, if it isn't in there, you will have to link the nimumber to messages.
    Read the last part of this kb article. That section pertains to iOS devices.

  • 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.

    The iPad is not a phone. Facetime and iMessage are only compatible with iOS devices. To add a phone number, you must do so from an iPhone.

  • How to change phone number for a facetime contact

    ; the number i used to call (mobile) isn't chosen and i can't dial it in facetime
    I used to click facetime and choose my friend's mobile phone number. Now it just dials a number it found in the contact's list, even though i changed it.

    Well, the only way I found is to reset iCloud Keychain entirely. Go to System Preferences->iCloud->Keychain, put in your password to your Apple ID, and click "Forgot code?" on the next screen. You'll be prompted to reset Keychain entirely, which you will have to do in order to change your number, unless you have AppleCare, in which case you can call them and have them set it up for you.

  • How to change phone number in facetime

    i have a new number and i cannot edit the phone number to enter the new one
    any ideas on how i can get this done?????

    You need to activate Facetime on your iPhone with your new number first. If you use the same Apple ID on all your devices, your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically ask you if you want to use your new number for Facetime.
