Facetime phone number unknown
I have two phone numbers showing up that I can be reached at. The other is totally unknown, and this happened when I changed to the new iphone5.
I don't know how to get rid of the unknown number. I already restored the iphone settings, and changed the SIM card. Please help
If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account. Note: The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

My youngest erased all content and settings on my iphone 4s (prepaid) and now it says it is not activated.I still have my account and number,but it says phone number unknown now.How do i fix this?.
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0. -
How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?
How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?
If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system. -
Phone Number Unknown after ios5 Update?!
I am also having facetime and imessage problems. I can only use facetime if using email. However, when I went into 'settings', then 'phone', my phone number is listed as 'unknown'. Before the ios5 update, my actual phone number was listed. I am unable to change this, and have already tried the system restore with no luck. Help?
I had already attempted to resolve the issue using those tips; however since it's a generic error message it could be for anything, and no, nothing i tried worked.

Changing the FaceTime phone number
I've read many of the threads on this board containing this question, and none of them seem to get a good answer. So I'm going to try again:
I have a new iPhone with a different phone number than my previous iPhone. I no longer own the previous phone number. When I set up my iCloud account in my new iPhone, it shows my old phone number associated with FaceTime. I assume that's because that phone number is associated with my iCloud account. Obviously I don't want my old number associated with iCloud, FaceTime, or anything else i... Does anyone here know how to change this? I've tried navigating through everything I can think of within iCloud and FaceTime and can't find anywhere that offers the option to change the number.
Thank you!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. -

IPhone 5 "Phone Number N/A" and device says Phone Number "Unknown"
So I just bought an iPhone 5 on Verizon off a guy on craigslist. Activated my phone,Clean ESN verfied by Verizon. I got home,put my Micro sim that I cut from my Android 4G phone,so it could fit. I can make calls and recieve texts, but I cannot send text messages through SMS. Only through iMessage. I turned my phone off and on but still nothing. The info on the phone Settings>Phone>My Number it says "Unknown". On iTunes, it shows "Phone Number N/A". Messages say "not delivered" Can anyone help??
I also see "Phone Number: n/a" in iTunes. As far as I can tell, my phone number listing on the phone itself is normal, showing up properly at the top of Contacts.
This might have shown up after I installed the Verizon 13.1 carrier update. But maybe I just missed it previously.
I don't have any of the history of the original poster. I bought my iPhone direct from Verizon. -
TS3367 Ipad - facetime phone number
When setting up my new Ipad Air (wi-fi only) from a restore of my Iphone via itunes it is pulling in the wrong phone number for facetime (apparently from another family members iphone) but the restore for apps worked fine. Any way to change the phone#? I already tried erasing the Ipad and doing a fresh backup of the phone and had the same results.

Messaging and facetime phone number issues
I have an iPhone 3 for work, an iPhone 4S that's my personal phone on my Apple ID and a macair and my iPad(I use one ID for all devices) I don't use facetime on the iphone3 but I do have message sync turned on. The iPhone 3 did have phone my work and personal cell associated. But it just updated and now only recognizes my work number.
I have checked my Apple ID. I only have personal number on it which is the phone number associated with the iPhone 4S. None on my other devices recognizes the iphone4 number as the number to use for messaging and facetime.
I do not want my computer or iPad to reference my work phone number but I can't find a way to get the settings to update any ideas?Never mind. I finally got it to work. For those with similar issue. Turn off messaging and facetime on all devices. Then turn back on for all devices with iPad being last to turn on.

How to change IMessage and FaceTime phone number on Macbook Air?
So I've just made the switch over to Apple computers from my forever relationship with Windows. I discovered that I can use IMessage and Factime on here but it links to not my Iphone, but to my father's whose is supposed to be on another itunes account but I'm not really sure. Sometimes IMessage in my Macbook will come across as my number, others my Dad's. My Iphone is on the itunes account that my Macbook is on but how do I make it so that the Imessage and Facetime go ONLY through MY phone? Sorry if this is confusing I'm not really sure what I should clarify. Thanks in advance!
The following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

How do I change the phone number linked to one of my contacts?
We want to FaceTime my mother in law but under her contact her work number is listed as the FaceTime phone number. I need to change that to either her mobile or her email address. How do I do that?
iMessage is tied to your Apple ID.
If you are using the same Apple ID, you will share iMessages across all your devices.
If you use a different Apple ID, it won't happen. -

I cannot verify my phone number in Facetime, iMessage, etc. ??
I am experiencing an issue as follows:
1. I inserted a SIM card in the iPhone 4S from Aircel which worked fine. I didnt activate any Apple Services like iMessage or Facetime.
2. Then the my number field in Settings-> Phone was getting populated properly.
3. I changed my SIM to my primary phone number of TATA DOCOMO
4. The My number field is "Unknown" and the Apple services always try to verify the services with my Aircel number.
5. I am not able to use Jaxtr SMS also which relies on similar activation
6. I even inserted the SIM in other phones and edited the phone number manually, then it showed in the my number section but again Facetime used Aircel number to activate.
7. Please guide what is the issue.Hi Tia8,
