    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

  • How do I add a phone number to my Ipad?

    My friend was able to add her iphone phone number to her ipad to receive imessages on her phone and ipad. When I go to add a number there is no option. there is only a spot for email.
    If you can't add phone numbers then how would someone send you an imessage on your ipad if you don't message them first?

  • TS4268 cant link my phone number on new ipad for messages

    Hi, I have just purchased a new ipad mini and set up, as per instructions, however on the first set up i chose "set up as new" rather than back up from my iphone 4/itunes..... the reason for this is that my harddrive on my pc crashed at xmas and have lost everything for the time being, including itunes etc....
    anyway, everything worked ok with the new ipad, but none of my apps synced (i am guessing due to the fact my phone was not linked to icloud at the time?) and what ever i try, i cannot get my phone number to display on the ipad for tex messages/imessages & facetime etc, it only displays my email address associated with my apple id.
    no matter how many times i have signed out on all devices & signed back in, it doesn't change??
    can anyone help with this please?

    You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.

  • How do I add a phone number to Favorites?

    How do I add a phone number to Favorites?

    Here's How:  Tap the phone icon from the iPhone's the home screen. Tap the Favorites icon at the bottom left. Click the "plus" icon at the top right to add favorites. This will bring up your full contacts list. Scroll through it or jump to a letter to find the contact you want. When you've found the name, tap it. This will bring up the contact's information, including all their phone numbers. Tap the phone number you want to make a favorite. That name and phone number are now listed in your "Favorites" menu. Next to the person's name is a small note indicating whether the number is work, home, mobile, etc. To rearrange the order of your Favorites, go to the phone app and tap the "Edit" button in the top left. This will bring up a screen with red icons to the left of the favorites and an icon that looks like a small stack of three lines on the right. Tap the three-line icon and hold it. The Favorite you've selected will become active (when active, it appears to be slightly above the other Favorites). Drag the Favorite to the position in the list you want it to have and let it go. Click "done" in the top left and your favorites will be reordered.

  • How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

    Use a free email address like gmail.com.
