  • 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.

  • How do I change the phone number for IM and FaceTime?

    Since my update to IOS 6 my FaceTime and IM are using my wife's phone number and I can't change it to mine. The email address are editable but the phone number is not. Help?

    All of my devises are updated to iOS6. But after reading your reply I tried turning off iM and face time in all three devices, powered them all down for 10 minutes. I turned my phone back on first (the one I wanted associated with my iPad) then turned on my iPad. I turned on iM and face time on my phone, then the iPad. In came up with all my info including my (correct number) phone number. Then I turned on my wife's phone and turned her iM and FaceTime on. Her number also popped up in the iPad but I could choose what number I wanted to use and left hers off. Her phone number is associated with my iTunes acc because we share all of our music and apps. For a little privacy you'll have to make a separate iTunes acc to completely get the unwanted number off the iPad. As long as both numbers are there you can switch between phone numbers and see iM messaging.
    So basically the phone numbers in the iPad are edited thru the individual phones, iTunes acc and not the iPad itself.
    Hope this helped if you're having the same issue.

  • Is there a way to change the phone number in Messages and FaceTime?

    I have scoured these forums and cannot find a straight answer to this. 
    Here is the scoop.  I switched networks with my iPhone 5, so I bought a SIM for it.  I then had my old number switched to it.  However, in FaceTime and Messages it still displays the original number for the SiM.  Is there any way to change this number to the correct one?
    Also, I have two Apple ID's to two different email addresses.  One for business and one for personal.  Is there a way to use them both for Messages and FaceTime?  I try to add the address and it shows a 'sent verification email' but I never receive it.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi, Steve.
    Regarding the iMessage phone number, when you connect your iPhone to iTunes, which number is displayed? Have you tried disabling and re-enabling both iMessage and FaceTime?
    About your two iCloud accounts, do you have both configured on your phone as two separate accounts?
    Cheers.

    Hello ,How can I get the serial number for registration and instalation?

    contact your local sales representative.
    You don't need a serial number to install LabVIEW.
    Registration is optional.
    Activation is needed after the evaluation period.
    Install it without number and it will work for a limited time (30days?) in evaluation mode, giving you plenty of time to decide if you want to buy it.
    Check the license manager to see the activation status of everything installed.

  • How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?

    My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon.  Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number.  Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

  • 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.

    Hey how do I change the phone # for my Macbook pro for messaging?

    Hi crupperdk!
    This behavior is activated by having your Apple ID used in iMessage on a phone. Here is an article with more information about this:

    How can I use my iPhone telephone number with iMessage on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
    You can link your iPhone telephone number to your Apple ID for use on your iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac by signing into iMessage with your Apple ID in Settings > Messages. Then sign in to the other device with the same Apple ID in these locations:
    iPad and iPod touch: sign in to iMessage in Settings > Messages.
    Messages for Mac: sign in to iMessage in Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
    Linking your iPhone telephone number with iMessage is not available for the iPad (1st generation) and iPod touch (3rd generation).
    Follow these steps for more information or if you are experiencing difficulties linking your iPhone telephone number to your Apple ID.
    If an unknown device registers with your Apple ID and you did not initiate that registration, you can reset your Apple ID password to remove it. You will then need to enter this new password on all devices using iMessage or FaceTime.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Braden
