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!

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.

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.

Can't show multi-phone number in Voic Call list (N...

Before I update the OVI (not show what version), my address book can show multi phone number in both Voice Call, Message and Video Call. But right now, it can't show multi-phone number in voice call list (others are still OK). I can only select the one I wish to show via OVT suit now. Why? This is not good, how can I modify all default setting when I travel out?

Hey Marklai62,
Looks like your C7 is set to use some number as default dial for voice call. You can change it from your mobile by opening the contact->option->defaults. Under this option, set voice call default to "No Defaults"

FBL5N t code and BSEG table is showing wrong contract number

Hi,
The proces flow is contract number>sales order>DMR-->Invoice
Now when I am checking the VBFA table it's showing correct contract number against invoices but FBL5N t code and BSEG table are showing wrong contract numbers.
Why FBL5N and BSEG table is showing wrong contract number?
Currently we are using one enhancement and user exit is used to incorporate one customized field as identifier for bill type.
1. During the billing document release to accounting VFX3, The user exit triggering and it is update the customized fields and Net settlement indicator.
2. Using the Invoice number, get the fields VGBEL(Document number of the reference document) and VGPOS (Item number of the reference item) from VBRP and read table VBAP with VBELN and POSNR, to get DMR number (Sales Document) that created for the Invoice.
3. Use fields VGBEL and VGPOS on table VBAP to get the sale order number.
4. By using the Sales order number, get the Distribution channel to update Net indicator field
In accounting table BSEG-UZAWE = JF must be updated on the customer line.
5. Retrieve the sale order number and item level to get customized field from table VBAP
Any pointers.
Thanks
Ashu

Hi Reazuddin,
Thanks for your reply,
I am concercerned about BSEG table and using user exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_008 to post the document in FI.
Now in we have enhanced this user exit for contracts and included in this way.
SELECT SINGLE ZZ_CONTRACT FROM VBAK INTO (LC_CONTRACT) WHERE VBELN EQ cvbrp-vgbel.
Endloop.
*Moving the values to final accounting table
loop at xaccit.
xaccit-vertn = lc_contract.
xaccit-VBEL2 = xaccit-AUBEL.
xaccit-xref3 = lc_vbel2.
MODIFY xaccit .
ENDLOOP.
Clear: lc_contract,lc_vgbel,lc_vgpos,lc_vbel2.
But I am getting correct data when checked other clients( development and quality), this problem I am getting in production.
Do I need to ask the ABAP'er to debug this enhancement in production?
Thanks
Ashutosh

My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

iMessage does not show my phone number on iMac. My family has 3 iPhones we sync to this computer and only the other two are available to checkmark in preferences on the iMac. I tried updating my profile online, but only my number is listed on my account. iMessages works fine on my phone. I've tried signing out and back in and rebooting.

Hi,
My Apple ID profile does not contain my mobile (well either of them actually) number it make no difference to iMessages.
To get an iPhone Number on the Mac the Apple ID must be added to an iPhone AND when you get the Pop ups on the Mac they should be accepted.
If the the Apple ID is on the iPhone check it is set for Messages and not just iCloud.
Check it is also set as a Send and Receive item And that the iPhone Number is itself (this should be greyed out so you can't turn it Off).
If the apple ID is missing then add it.
If the iPhone Number seems to be turned Off then Remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane Mode.
On taking it out of Airplane Mode check the iPhone Number is active for iMessages and Verifies and logs in.
Check by sending a Message to the Apple ID so the Mac sees it.
Now add back the Apple ID and make sure that verifies.
Now restart the app on the Mac.
this should prompt the Pop ups.
Accept these to add the iPhone number to the Receive At list (It will also be added to the Send From drop down list)

SMS not showing my phone number

When I send an SMS the recipient does not see my verified number only a 5 digit number.
I have set it up in my SMS options correctly so should show my phone number.
I send predominently to French mobiles. As does my husband and his works fine.

Skype has to rely on the destination network provider's support to show the Sender ID that you have set up. There might be certain providers that have not implemented this correctly. Do you happen to know which French mobile provider network your friend is using?

Had my old number transferred, facetime/imessage show my transferred number but in settings/phone/mynumber it is still showing as the temporary number

I've had my old O2 number transferred to my new iphone 4s on 3. my facetime and imessage show my transferred number but in the phone settings its still showing as the number that came with the phone.
When i message someone it seems to be showing as either one or the other if its a text conversation its converting from one to the other then back again. Also on imessage its reverted to using my email address.
Does anyone know how to make it so that everything is showing the correct number. i have turned both facetime/imessage off, turned my phone off and on again turned facetime/imessage back on again which sorted the numbers showing on them. But in phone settings thats not done the trick.
Please Help!!!

When you go to Settings>Phone, what shows as your phone number? Is the temporary number you describe there or your regular phone number? You should be able to set it there. I don't know if there is a new place for setting anything associated with iMessage. I cannot find any reference in the iOS 5 manual regarding changing settings.

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.

IMessage and Facetime won't activate phone number

Hi guys.
Here's the story.
I had an Unlocked iPhone 4, bought in Brazil and using a brazilian carrier, till recently, and both iMessage and Facetime worked normally, using my apple ID or my phone number.
After I was robbed, I got an iPhone 4S, factory unlocked, bought in the United States, and started using it with my brazilian carrier sim.
I restored my iPhone 4 backup, to maintain all my notes, calendar, photos, etc.
But now I noticed that facetime and imessage are not working with my phone number. They just keep shoping the message "Waiting for activation" or something like that, with my phone status as "Verifying".
I tried removing and re-inserting the sim, rebooting the phone, activating and deactivating imessage and facetime, but they just won't verify my number...
Also, when I check my phone on iTunes, the "Phone Number" field states "N/A". With my former phone the number would show on the iTunes screen.
Can someone help me? I am running on iOS 5.0.1., no jailbreak and using my brazilian Apple ID.
Hope someone can help, I tried several online tutorials, such as the timezone one, or the DNS router, and none worked.
Regards,

I just activated a new iphone 4s and restored from a backup of my former iphone 3gs - had the same problem - Waiting for Activation on both facetime and imessage. I tried all the usual fixes, reset all, hard reset, turn facetime/imessage on and off, and on and on. 2 hours on phone with tech support to no avail.
I just found the fix on my own - no clue if it will work for everyone. But it's ridiculously easy and worth a shot so you don't waste hours and hours resetting/synching as I did.
All I did was go into settings>phone>my number - erase it by touching the ">". Then re-enter it making sure to input with the "+" and country code. For example in the US: +1(508) 569-9901
No hard reset necessary. I went into settings>facetime and imessage, immediately after inputting my phone number again and the dreaded "waiting for activation" message was gone. I tested sending a message - came thru to the other party fine and facetiming another device (my mom's ipad some distance away) and it rang thru with everything working properly i.e., video/audio.

IPhone 4G syncing with iTunes The screen does not show my phone number and backs up to an old file from four months ago.

iOS 6.0 was available this week, so I updated my iPhone 4S. At first it showed a long yellow (other bar) of 10GB, then took the entire day to update my photos (about 20,000 of them. So I tried restoring the phone and the message on iTunes was that I had restored from a different phone. Now I cannot get my phone number to show up on the summary page of iTunes. It says n/a.
And it restores from a backup in June. And those are locked. Any ideas how to get back up to date?
Thanks,

Never mind. It updated itself...

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.
