How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ?

How could I change my telephone number from iMessage ? I've try in my Apple ID and doesn't work.

Hi,
On your iPhone Add the Apple ID
On the Mac then Accept the pop up(s) that appear saying the iPhone is using the ID and iPhone number.
Untick the old number in the list for Receive At and Start Conversation From drop down if it is the listed item.
For complete removal you have to delete a .plist or two.
Open a Finder window
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key
Select the Library that appears.
Navigate to the Preferences
Find com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist and drag them to the Trash.
Restart the app on the Mac.
It will ask for the Apple ID.
It should get the pop ups about the iOS device.

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,
Larry

How can I move my telephone numbers from one IPhone to a new one?

if you are talking about your contacts. backup your old iphone then do a restore to the new phone and that will transfer your contacts your settings and pics and music.
if you are talking about chaning your phone number from an old phone ot a new one that has a different number. you have to contact your phone carrier.

How do I change the phone number on imessage?

I just updated to ios 6 and the update for mountain lion. What i cant seem to do is change the phone number on imessage from my wifes to mine on my personal mac pro. How do i do that?

Hi,
In the first Instance Messages allows you to Call from the Contacts list.
On the second hand iCloud will sync your Contacts to the iPhone.
If your My Card in the Contacts (Head and Shoulders iCon) then you will not be calling your own iPhone or it will not be listed as the phone number in the iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 update changes.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

How do I remove a phone number from iMessage on my Mac?

I get a new iPhone tomorrow on a completely new number and I wanted to know how I can remove my current number from being used for iMessage on my mac so that when I get my new phone I can set it up

HI,
In the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears (you can Copy and Paste the bold text).
In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash
Restart Messages.
It will list nothing in the iMessages account and you will have to Add the Apple ID.
Once you have the new iPhone set it up for the Apple ID and the Mac version will then get a pop up asking for your to Accept which will then add the iPhone Number to the Settings.

How do i change the phone number in imessage

Anyone know how to change the phone number associated with imessage...This is an ipod touch so there is no sim card.

The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number if the same Apple ID is used for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive is also used for an iPhone. Thus you need to get another phone number for the phone.

How do you change the phone number in imessages?

my wife and I share an account and her phone number shows up on my new ipad and am wondering how I change the phone number to reflect my phone number?

I use one Apple ID and can use Messages and FaceTime on four different devices by assigning different email addresses to 3 of the devices. As long as both phone numbers are associated with the one Apple ID, it should be possible to do what you want to do. You may have to turn off and sign out of messages on all devices so that you can get the phone number to appear in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
This should be helpful. Take a look.

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 iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account

Any suggestions?

Hi Lori284,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
First remove the existing phone number:
Additional Information
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.
Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
Cheers,
- Ari

How do you disassociate a phone number from iMessage without disabling iMessage completely

Hi there. I will soon be selling my current iPhone for another phone and want to remove the association between the phone number and iMessage so my girlfriend will send SMS messages to my phone from her iPhone instead of iMessages. Is it as simple as turning iMessage off in iCloud settings or does it go a bit deeper than that? I have seen a few stories on the forums of iMessages still being sent to sold or broken phones and don't want this to happen to mine.
Cheers in advance.

All you need to do is turn iMessage off in settings. Also be sure to turn FaceTime off and delete your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud. (Note: deleting the iCloud account only deletes it from the phone, not from iCloud.)
Be sure to create a new backup before selling it. To be save, create a backup both in iCloud and on your computer using iTunes (by clicking on Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings). Then erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, or restore it as a new iPhone.
