HELP: FaceTime with phone number and/or email ????

Ok, I'll try to be clear as this might be a confusing question.....
My iPhone 4S has been recieving Facetime calls only through my email addresses (2 diff addresses work for me). Howecer, if someone tries to call my phone number on Facetime, it says ' not available'.
My sisters iPhone 4 recieves her Facetime calls on her cell phone number but NOT on her email address....
Both are on a wifi network.... but not the same network......
I was under the impresssion either the phone number or email would work if using IO5.
Why would one or the other work or not work?????
Please let me know if there is more info needed.......
thx

The short and direct answer to your question about catalogs on a network drive is that you can't do that. The catalog must reside on a local drive.
Here is a link to a list of telephone numbers. Choose one that is appropriate:

On my settings menu under messages there is a tab that says receive at and has 2 addresses my phone number and my email. It says i can be reached for messages at and shows both of these. What does that mean?

Why can't I activate iMessage and FaceTime with phone number?

Hi, I own an iPhone 4, recently I restored it and now I can't activate iMessage and FaceTime using my phone number.
I read and performed all the steps shown in apple troubleshooting article about activating iMessage and FaceTime and that didn't work either.
Before restoring the iPhone both iMessage and FaceTime were working just fine...
Why is that? What can I do?
Thanks,
Konrad

in settings where you have them turned on, does it say waiting for activation ?

How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

I used to get imessages using my phone number. Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one. Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number. The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected. I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice.
The imessage is working but only using the email address.
Ideas?
Jennifer

the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
but i did sign in on my iphone
i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
thanks again

My iMessage won't activate my email but will with phone number. I type my password and it says it's wrong I change it and it still says its wrong. I even made a new account and it still says the password is wrong.

Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

Hi believer924,
Happy Holidays! What version of Mac OS are you working with? The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage. On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.

Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone. Laptop

iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone. The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
Please help. Thanks.

Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

How do i send imessages through my phone number and not my email on the ipad air? it is only allowing my to *** email addresses to send from under settings.

I cannot get my phone number to show up under message settings. Therefore i cannot send imessages by phone number.

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.

How do you combine iMessage sent to phone number and email?

I talk to someone who sends me imessages to my phone number from their phone, and also from their ipad to my email. Both phone number and email are under the same contact. But the mesages go into 2 different threads. Id like to combine them since being under the same contact they show up exactly the same in the messages list.. so i cant tell if im messaging the ipad or the phone..
ideally id like to write a message to that contact and it would go to both their ipad and iphone...
anyways.. how do I combine them?

This is possible and you can also send and receive iMessages to your MacBook from one phone number without having to use any email address whatsoever. This also means you will have one chat thread with all of your messages not two.
Anyone will tell you that I am a hardcore Apple Fan, however, sometimes they lack in the instructions area. For a while now I have had a problem with iMessages being sent from my MacBook. I could send an iMessage from my phone with no problem and my friend would receive it from my phone number however, the problem would arise when I would send a iMessage from my MacBook to to the same friend and a new thread would be created, so in essence she would have two different messages for me, one from my phone number and one from my email. After numerous attempts of contacting Apple Customer Service with no avail, I eventually figured it out on my own. I did aggrate some friends because I had to send messages relentlessly. In the end I found a solution and here are the instructions.
You’re going to go into iMessage on your computer, go to messages in the top left, click on preferences and then click on accounts. Look under “you can be reached for messages at” you should see your email and or your phone number.
If you do not see your phone number you need to add it to your account at this site. “https://appleid.apple.com/” click on manage your Apple ID and then sign in. After you sign in you will go to another screen and on your left you’ll see a list of choices click on phone numbers. Add your phone number and click save changes. It usually takes a few seconds for your iMessage account to update. Completely quit iMessage in the toolbar and then reopen it and go back into messaging preferences and then accounts.
After that has been done your phone number should now be added to the “you can be reached for messages at” section. Click on your phone number and then uncheck your email address.
Then go into your iPhone settings, messages, then scroll down to send and receive. Uncheck any email, only your phone number should have a checkmark, if your phone number does not have a checkmark... check it. You should receive a pop-up on your iPhone saying so-and-so’s MacBook is now using “insert phone number here” for iMessages.
