Hi, I want to iMessage an American phone number from the uk, how do I do this?

make sure you have the phone number entered in international format in your contacts.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Then enter the US number as +1 (area code, if it has one) (phone number).
With dial assist on the + gives you the dial out code to make an international call, 1 is the country code for USA,for a mobile number it will not have an area code but if it has a leading zero leave it out, then the phone number without any leading zero

  • HT201363 How do i delete my iphone 4s from my account on apple ID? I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the acco

    I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    Unlink a phone number
    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.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • Remove your phone number from the iMessage servers

    remove your phone number from the iMessage servers

    I did the chat deal through apple's support. It's supposed to work withing 24 hours. I've never even owned an apple product, but the phone number my carrier gave me was previously owned by an Iphone user. So everyone with an Iphone that was trying to txt me, their messages were going to the previous owner of the number for some reason. BUT hopefully it's fixed now, finally.
    Apple needs to come up with some kind of an easier fix for this, an automated system or something, the text that says STOP to a number doesn't work, and it says that right in their troubleshooting. Hope the guy that had my number isn't married, cause some of the txts he was getting were pictures HAHA!

  • How do I send iMessages via my phone number from my iPad 2 on iOS 6

    I have an iPad 2, an iPad 3, and an iPhone 5 all running iOS 6.  I can send messages from my phone number from the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5 but the option is not available on the iPad 2.  I am signed in with the same Apple ID across all three devices. What am i doing wrong???

    Here's the go to info on Massages app. Perhaps knowing your own kit you can figure out where the configuration on a device is incorrect.

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

  • How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

    I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
    I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
    I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
    Thanks so much

    The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

  • IMessage: Is there anyway for me to imessage using my phone number from my Mac?

    Whenever I imessage from my Mac, it shows up on the recipiant's device as my appleID, and when I contact the same person using my iPhone, the message shows up as my phone number.  The ending result is two threads of the conversation on the recipeiant's end.  I am wondering, with the new update, is it possible to use only my phone number for an imessage on my Mac and not my email address?

    Nope I've been wondering that myself, but I'm afraid messages sent from your Mac will only show up as your apple ID email, while messages sent from your iPhone use a SIM card therefore will show up as digits. Think it just works that way, sorry!

  • Converting iPhone 4S to iTouch and would rather not reset it.  How can I disable the phone number from the list of valid iMessage and FaceTime contact points?  The line item is shaded in each.

    I've changed the Apple IDs for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.  I've turned cellular off.  I even changed the cellphone number in the phone settings to a 555 garbage number.  I'm guessing the number is some how attached to the SIM card?  Is there any way to solve this short of resetting the phone and starting from scratch?  Backups to iCloud and iTunes were done before any changes took place.

  • How do I disable imessage to a phone number without the phone?

    I switched from my iphone 4 to the galaxy note 3. I love the phone but whenever iphone users text me it is still sending in imessage. This is obviously an issue because a lot of my friends have an iphone still. I have went into my account and disabled all devices on the icloud. I have also turned off imessage on my ipad and my parents imac. When I switched my phones at the store they bought my iphone, so I do not have the option to turn it off on that. I need a solution to where imessages only get sent to my email or just as SMS. I thought that when I switched I would have become unrecognizeable in imessaging, but obviously I thought wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Clyde. I called that number but they told me to go to icloud.com and delete the number while looking at it under Find My iPhone. It didn't change anything. Other iphone users can still send me imessages. Is there a way I can delete my whole account and basically unregister my information from the system?

  • Imessage changed my phone number after the ios7 update

    after the ios7 update imessaging has changed my number to some weird 7 digit number with a +1 (1) infront of it. if someone txts my actual phone number the message wont deliver.. i have reset everything on the phone multiple times and have did alot of troubleshooting for this and nothing seems to work. i went to the apple store and they said to call the techs.. i did that before i even went to the store and they couldnt do anything for me. if anybody has any ideas on how to fix this please help! thank you

    Hi mdfrommo,
    You can't change it back by going to Settings>Phone, and then by clicking on your number at the top? It should take you to a screen that will allow you to delete what is there and type your own number in.
    Cheers,

  • My iPhone is syncing my iMessage and emails with iCloud on the iPad how can I stop this please I don't want this option how can I stop it

  • I just bought an iPhone and it seemed to be working well until I went to sync it to my computer and it synced under my old ipod. Now when I go to text it sends as my email and I can't change it to my phone number or anything. How can I fix this?

    Pretty much what the title says but if for some reason it doesn't...
    I just got an iPhone 4 today and it was working well until I went to hook it up to my computer and it asked me if I wanted to set it up as a new phone or back up all my stuff from my old ipod.
    I accidentally clicked that and it had pretty much ruined my phone, deleted all contacts everything. I then did a reset through itunes and now when I send a text message it sends as my email instead of my phone number.
    I've gone to settings->messages and turned off and on imessage and didn't fix it.
    How do I fix this?

    Yeah, you fried the phone big time.
    Go into iMessage settings and set the Caller ID to your phone number.

  • How to remove your phone number from the iPad

    How do I get my phone number off of my iPad? I don't want to receive texts on the iPad. I don't want to just turn it off, I want it off permanently.

    Hi Tjmills14!
    I believe the options you are looking for can be found right here:
    Messages settings - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99acb5bb
    If you go to the Messages settings on your iPad and turn off iMessage, then you will no longer receive or send texts from your iPad. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
