Facetime with two mobile numbers?

Hi,
I have used Facetime (and iMessage) in the past with my German mobile number. Right now I am travelling, and I have bought a local SIM-card. My German number ist still active and calls are being forwarded to my "vacation"-number.
I can make outgoing calls with Facetime as usual, but I am told that it shows my US-number (which I don't want, as it is only temporary). Moreover, I cannot be reached via my German cell phone number. Possibly, because in the logic of Facetime/Apple-ID, it has been replaced by the "new" US-cell-number associated with the phone itself as of now.
Is there any way I can make Facetime recognize either only my (old) German mobile number, or both mobile numbers? Or can Facetime work only with the active number from the SIM-card in the phone at any given moment?
Basically, I can tell Facetime/Apple-ID to use so many Emails, can I do the same with cell-phone-numbers?
Thanks so much, Ulrich

Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?

Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?
This would be a useful feature for personal and company numbers but using one mobile, rather than carrying two devices or diverting calls.

Then go ahead and try it. You'll find it's probably a load of crap.
You want 2 numbers, then use Google Voice or TalkaTone
Those are US based only Apps or numbers so no good. I won't be wasting money by just trying something either, especially because using a dual sim would mean purchasing another sim card on either pay as you go or monthly contact.

GTS BP with two adress numbers.

Hi All,
I am facing with an issue that a BP is assinged with two address numbers. Ideally it should be one with our case .
It was tranfered from ECC and for a ECC customer master only one adreess number can be exist.
The 2nd adress was changed from ECC but unfortunatly instead of updating the existing one , it created one more adress line in GTS .
When I checked in BUT020 table for this BP two adresses are assigned and no external adress for either of both add. numbers.
I tried with other sample customer masters but neither able to re-create nor the cause of the issue.
Kindly help by suggesting any check points , settings..Let me know if any other information is needed.
Thanks ,
Raj KB .

Hi Raj,
I have seen a similar issue before but on a larger scale.
The previous incident was caused by a number range overflow that was not solved in the correct manner.
Instead of correcting the problem in GTS first, the master data was re-transferred again from ECC in an attempt to overwrite the incorrect data.
But because the number range was not corrected in GTS first the re-transfer created a lot of inconsistent entries in the BUT020 and ADRC tables.
The attempted solution caused an incorrect relationship between ADRC and BUT020 for the (over 350k) BPs involved.
This may not be the case in your scenario but it's the only root cause I can think of without having access to you system.
Please inquire about the number ranges if the above sounds familiar.
Going forward you should run program /SAPSLL/BP_ADDR_CLEANUP from SE38 in simulation mode to see what gets picked up.
Best Regards,
Eoin

Does it matter if you are sharing one email account with two phone numbers

I am trying to facetime with my wife. We share the same email. but have two different phone numbers. on her end it says she is unavailable for facetime. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The 'extension' cords are all compatible with all of the power bricks for Apple portables (PowerBooks, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, etc.). I also have several from many generations (back to early PowerBooks) and I use them all interchangeably with current adapters (in various rooms at home, at work, etc.).
(As a side note, they are not compatible with the iPod power bricks, but that's not relevant for you.)

Contacts with multiple mobile numbers

Hello all,
This is my first post here, so please be patient with me. I searched through previous threads, but did not find an sufficient answer to the problem I am having. To set the stage, I will give you what I am working with
g-mail account with close to 500 contacts
iPhone 5, latest version 6.1.3
MacBook Air, latest version 10.8.3
I have my g-mail account linked to my iPhone as an Exchange connection so that I can view the contacts. I have my computer contacts program connected with Google as well. The problem I am having is that most of these 500 contacts have multiple mobile phone numbers. I am able to create this contact easily in g-mail and can relabel the phone types to match what they are. Let's say for instance:
Name: John Smith
Home: 111-111-1111
Mobile: 222-222-2222
Mobile:333-333-3333
etc.
I have done quite a bit of testing and found that the computer contacts matches up perfectly with whatever I put in there, including multiple mobile numbers. My iPhone on the other hand, does not show the second Mobile number. It will recognize multiple home, work, and pager numbers, but not multiple mobiles (it only shows the first one on the list). Why would it allow multiple numbers of the other types and not mobile numbers?
Is there something I am doing incorrectly, or has Apple overlooked a simple, important function? The things I do not want to do are:
create custom phone labels for my contacts as in mobile1, mobile2 - there are too many and this is an inefficient solution.
change all of the cell numbers to be work numbers - same as above, and what if someone else is updating g-mail contacts and does not follow the rule?
unlink the Google tie I have on the computer - this seems to be the only one of the two that works, and I do not want to have to constantly remember to download an updated contact list. The list changes constantly, and I know I would eventually forget ( I am looking for a poka-yoke here).
Any ideas about solutions?
Thank you for the help

I have no prblem syncing multiple mobile numbers so I don't think it's a universal issue with iOS. The only difference I see is I am using CardDav instead of using the Exchange option. Have you tried it that way? You can urn off contacts in the Exchange account and add the CardDav account separately.

HT1688 2 ios6 contacts with 2 mobile numbers.

Have personal and business iPhone as does my better half. When we send an iMessage it just says the contact name no matter which mobile number you select so after a few messages you have no clue which you used. Can type the phone number but it will auto correct back to the contact name.
Any way to get the iPhone to show which number or append the mobile1, mobile2, work mobile or whatever identifier is shown on the contact details? Anything at all is better than two threads with same contact name. Ha.

Work around:
In Contact app,
First: Full name here
Last: Work (something else for the second iPhone)

Two mobile numbers on 1 iPhone 4? Defective iPhone?

Hi
I bought my Iphone 4 32gb last month from Apple, i signed with 02, transferred my number from Vodafone but have same number. Now i have a number of problems, when i facetime someone, a different number comes up. This happens most of the time, secondly when people try to call me the call dosen't go through.

Then contact Apple.
You can call them or make an appointment at the genius bar.
Have you tried restart, reset, restore?

One account with two skype numbers, want to forwar...

that's it. i have one skype account that had one skype number forwarding to one land number. works fine. bought another skype number in order to forward to a 2nd land number. but cant find any way to do this on skype. skype just wants all forwarding for both skype number to go to the same land number (or numbers).
other than creating a 2nd account for the second number/forwarding, is there a way to do what i want to do here?
or, if i need to set up a 2nd account for the 2nd number, is there any way to get skype to apply the 2nd skype number and the payment (that has already been processed) for that number to the 2nd account?
pls let me know, thanks for help.

the Skype client cannot distinguish between incoming calls that were placed to each Skype Number
Skype Numbers are for incoming calls only, and that's all the Skype client sees . . . an incoming call
unfortunately, you also cannot transfer a Skype Number from one account to another
sorry that's not what you wanted to hear

Neil

My Nokia Lumia 800 has two IMEI numbers. What?!

Hi Everyone,
Purchased a Lumia 800 (white) from Nokia Store here in Bangalore, India on August 2012. The phone was working fine till August 2013 when camera stopped working. Took the phone to Nokia Care. Warranty checked out fine and the camera module had to be replaced. Got call from Nokia Care three weeks later saying there has been IMEI mismatch as such warranty is now void. Reason- the phone has two IMEI numbers. What??
And funny, Nokia's story was true. IMEI number written on the phone panel and phone box differed from internal hardware IMEI number (which can also be seen from Settings>About). They say this can only happen if the phone was serviced earlier and component changed. Well, this was my first time servicing the phone and when the phone is under warranty why will I give for servicing to a non-nokia centre?? This shocked me, I could not convince Nokia people so I just agreed to pay for the repair. Now, after 3 days, they call up and say- "Changed the camera module but it is still not working. Maybe your motherboard is damaged! you will be charged 80% of the phones price if you agree with repair". I am yet to give them the 'go ahead'.
For no fault of mine I am going through so much!! Is it possible that Nokia sold me a device with two IMEI numbers?? Can anyone please tell me what to do?? Thanks.

Nokia wouldn't have sold a device in that state. It's highly likely that the retailer is to blame for this one. They've probably sold you a refurbished or repaired set as new.
If I was you I would go and speak to the retailer about this.

IMessage issues on contacts associated with two different mobile numbers

Hello together,
currently i am facing the following issue:
I have a contact "Max Mustermann" associated with to different mobile numbers. Number 1 is a number belonging to his business mobile phone which is an iPhone. Number 2 belongs to his private Android device.
Since I updated to iOS 7.0.2 my iPhones sends every message (new message, answers) to the iPhone, regadless if he sends me a text message from his Android device. During my throubleshooting I tried to delete his business number from contacts, deleted every mail adress associated with his contact, recreate the contact with the same name and just the private number. As for now I completely deleted his contact on my iPhone and tried to send the text message directly to the mobile number of his Android device. But still the same: Message is send as iMessage to his business mobile phone...
Anybody faced this issue before and can me help with his?
Regards,
Tim

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps
