  • How do you send an iMessage with my phone number, not an email address

    Ever since I have had this iPhone on pay as you go with Vodafone in September, I have not had an option to use my phone number, it doesn't bother me as such but my friends get annoyed as one hour I'd reply on text as their contact and the next it will use iMessage when I have Internet as my apple Id email address. How do I do this!!!!

    There is no option, just emails. I signed out of apple Id and signed back in, it asked me to use either my number of email so I deselected my email but the phone number was greyed out, it hasn't activated again so I don't think it has worked.

  • How to use imessage from my ipod and have it come up as my phone number, not my email?

    how do i get it to use my phone number and not my email?

    If you have an iPhone with Messages enabled, on your iPod touch open Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and tick your phone number and unmark your email address. Doing this, you will send and receive messages from your phone number, so you will get the same messages as on your iPhone at the same time

  • HT3529 How do i turn off iMessage for my phone number completely?

    I got rid of my iPhone. I now have a Samsung Galaxy s4. All of my friends and family that had texted me using iMessgae before are now unable to text me because every time they try, it sends an iMessage. I am unable to recieve these messages from my phoe and it is really annoying. I tried turning off my phone number as a send & recieve option on all of my devices. I tried changing my password as suggested by Apple. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. Does anybody out there have any idea on how to fix this?

    It looks like if you don't have access to re phone you'll need to contact apple support. The link is in the article.

  • I have an iPad (no iPhone) - how can I link facetime/iMessage to my phone number

    Hi there,
    New to the forums, can't seem to find this answer and if anyone could help that would be great.
    I don't have an iPhone. On my ipad, my apple ID only allows me to facetime and imessage by my email address. When I login with my girlfriends apple ID, she automatically gets her phone number synced to use. I've added mine to my apple ID profile, yet I still cant select my number for imessage or facetime. I can't seem to find a setting or an answer for this. Any help?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    You can only link an iPhone number to Messages and FaceTime. It doesn't work with an Android phone number or a conventional cell phone number - iPhone numbers only.

  • How do I change the iMessage phone number on my iPad.

    Hello:
    I've searched and can't find this exact problem in any other thread. How do I change the iMessage phone nubmer on my iPad. It is NOT the same as my iTunes phone number.
    My wife and I share an AppleID. When I updated my iPad to iOS6 her phone number became my iMessage phone number. Now, I get all her iMessages between her and her contacts and not my own. The email is still my iTunes account email.

    If you go to General>Messages>ReceiveAt and then add an additional Apple ID, if you dont have an other Apple ID, you will have to create a new one. Also, if you dont want to receive your current messages, you can remove the number/Apple ID, but only if you have 2 or more Receiving accounts. (including your current) If you dont want to use iMessage at all, just simply switch iMessage from "On" to "Off"
    Hope this helped,
    From hamishryan6

  • How can I change the iMessage account on my phone?

    How can I change the iMessage account on my phone? I have changed accounts and have changed every other account (such as the store and iCloud), but I cannot change iMessage.

    Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign back in using the ID you want to use.

  • How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

    WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage

  • TS2755 I've moved to a different province so now I have a new phone number.  How do I change/update imessage with my new phone number and delete my old one?

    I've changed my phone number since I got my iphone 4S.  Now when I imessage, my old phone number shows up as the contact info.  How do I delete my old number and add my new phone number?

    Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
    can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
    you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
    AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
    Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

  • How do you combine iMessage sent to phone number and email?

    I talk to someone who sends me imessages to my phone number from their phone, and also from their ipad to my email. Both phone number and email are under the same contact. But the mesages go into 2 different threads. Id like to combine them since being under the same contact they show up exactly the same in the messages list.. so i cant tell if im messaging the ipad or the phone..
    ideally id like to write a message to that contact and it would go to both their ipad and iphone...
    anyways.. how do I combine them?

    This is possible and you can also send and receive iMessages to your MacBook from one phone number without having to use any email address whatsoever. This also means you will have one chat thread with all of your messages not two.
    Anyone will tell you that I am a hardcore Apple Fan, however, sometimes they lack in the instructions area. For a while now I have had a problem with iMessages being sent from my MacBook. I could send an iMessage from my phone with no problem and my friend would receive it from my phone number however, the problem would arise when I would send a iMessage from my MacBook to to the same friend and a new thread would be created, so in essence she would have two different messages for me, one from my phone number and one from my email. After numerous attempts of contacting Apple Customer Service with no avail, I eventually figured it out on my own. I did aggrate some friends because I had to send messages relentlessly. In the end I found a solution and here are the instructions.
    You’re going to go into iMessage on your computer, go to messages in the top left, click on preferences and then click on accounts. Look under “you can be reached for messages at” you should see your email and or your phone number.
    If you do not see your phone number you need to add it to your account at this site. “https://appleid.apple.com/” click on manage your Apple ID and then sign in. After you sign in you will go to another screen and on your left you’ll see a list of choices click on phone numbers. Add your phone number and click save changes. It usually takes a few seconds for your iMessage account to update. Completely quit iMessage in the toolbar and then reopen it and go back into messaging preferences and then accounts.
    After that has been done your phone number should now be added to the “you can be reached for messages at” section. Click on your phone number and then uncheck your email address.
    Then go into your iPhone settings, messages, then scroll down to send and receive. Uncheck any email, only your phone number should have a checkmark, if your phone number does not have a checkmark... check it. You should receive a pop-up on your iPhone saying so-and-so’s MacBook is now using “insert phone number here” for iMessages.

  • How do I change FaceTime to answer thru phone not email?

    How do I change my FaceTime to connect thru my phone number not email?

    I don't think you can prevent your phone number from being registered with iMessage when you activate iMessage on an iPhone.  By default, you number will be registered with the iMessage server.  If you are also using an Apple ID for iMessage, the email associated with your Apple ID will also be added to Receive At.  (If you don't want this, but wish to use a different email address you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.  You can add a different email address as a Receive At option but your Apple ID address will not be listed.)
    If you want your contacts to only iMessage you at your email address you'll have to tell them to only use that when iMessaging you.

  • When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

    When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free.  Any help you could offer would be great (-:

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • My Icloud is tuck on my old email adress. i can not retreive the password becaue when i request the email it doent get sent to thi adress. how can i change it sothat my icloud is on my new email. i cant login or out of icloud now.

    To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
