How can I change my phone
How do I change my phone # in the FaceTime app? I used the wrong phone #!
Howdy lei24,
The information outlined below details how to go about changing the phone number used to obtain a Verification Code.
Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

How can i change the phone number on my ipod to a different number
how can i change my phone number on my ipod to a different number than my i phone
Only by getting a different iPhone and using your Apple ID for Messages/FaceTime on your iPod. The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number for Messages and FaceTimeT if the Apple ID used for those services on the iPad is also used on a Phone witrh iOS 6 or later.

How can I change my phone number for iMessages and FaceTime?
When I am using my iPad for iMessages and FaceTime, it displays a different cell number than my own. How can I change this number to my cell phone? When I log using my Apple ID, it shows the other number and will not let you change it. Is there a way to change it?
I found the answer. You can do this by:
For iMessage-
Settings>Message>Send & Receive>Log into your Apple account
For FaceTime-
Settings>FaceTime>Log into your Apple account
Once in, you can select the phone number you want to use. After completing this task, you can then go to Settings on your iPad and select iMessage and FaceTime. Preform the same steps as above and the phone number will be changed. -

I work in China, therefore, I stay in China for long time. I bought an iPadair and try to connect with iCloud, then asked me security code which is sent to my home phone in New York. I cannot get it. How can I connect the new one with iCloud. My name is David M Lee, have Apple, iCloud and iTune account.
If you are referring to the code for Apple ID two-step verification, you will need access to either one of your trusted devices or your Recovery Key. There is more information in the links below:

How can I change the phone number format?
When I first picked up my iPhone from Smartone Vodafone here in Hong Kong, it was setup to display the numbers correctly (ex: 1234-5678). I have since restored my iPhone several times and with the extra digit in there, iOS formats the first three numbers as if they are a US area code.
Anyone know how I can get the Hong Kong format back? I'd prefer to not have to enter +852 in front of all my HK contacts.
Thanks,
HunterI'm not entirely sure if this will work, but try going to Settings > General > International > Region Format > Hong Kong SAR China. Hopefully that will do the trick.
