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.

My iPad has connect to the wrong number for imessage and facetime. How do I change the number on my iPad for imessage and faceting?

When setting up my new iPad and entering my own Apple ID my sisters number appeared on the imessage and facetiming; however her number is not associated with my Apple ID. How do I change the number to my own?

Turn iMessage and FaceTime off, reset the device by holding both buttons until the apple logo appear then let go and wait for it to restart. Then turn iMessage and FaceTime back on and enter the settings again

Different number for iMessage and FaceTime.

Ok so my imessage and FaceTime both show different numbers (neither number is my number) I'm from UK and one number is from Thailand and the other is from Australia. I've turned the imessage and FaceTime off and on, signed in and out of my apple ID. Reset the phone, removed and replaced the SIM card. Tried 101 solutions touted on the web but still same problem. When I click imessage to on and sign into my apple ID, it has my correct email and mobile number. However, when I click done and the view the send and receive addresses, the greyed out number is a Thailand number and no longer the mobile number that my apple ID had identified. I have also contacted my service provider and there is no problem on their end and I rang apple support and they said they didn't know what to do and that they hadn't heard of this issue before. Any profound suggestions?

try this:

Hope it helps
*EDIT*
Sorry should have said you need to scroll down to the section that says:
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 IDpassword.

How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

HT204380 mobile number is still in 'verifying' state for imessage and facetime

unable to verify mobile number for imessage and facetime. Everytime I on/off the imesssage and facetime it charged internatinal sms price but never activate the mobile number.

Turn iMessage off and do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After it has finished, go back to Messages and turn iMessage back on. After it has activated, you can check the Send & Receive, it should be correct. The iPhone and iMessage get the phone number information from the SIM, it should change after completing this. The number should be gray and a check by it. That one cannot be changed, but if the old number shows up, you should be able to remove the checkmark by it.

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.

Why does my iPad not give me the option to enter a phone number for iMessage or FaceTime?

I don't have the option to enter a phone number in iMessage or FaceTime on my iPad. I used to have that option, but it has disappeared.

Use an email address. You can get a gmail.com address just to use for FaceTime & Messages.

TS2755 Azerbaijan (+994) missed as location (??!!) for imessage and FaceTime? When you enter to "change location", no Azerbaijan amongs the region?!!

IOS7...Azerbaijan (+994) missed as location (??!!) for imessage and FaceTime? When you enter to "change location", no Azerbaijan amongs the region?!!
+994 phone number is disappeared !!!

Why no one from Apple support team still didn't replied to this question? It is really problem for Apple Azerbaijan users which I'm pretty sure are more than above mentioned two countries.
I hope Apple support team will investigate and find the solution for this problem and satisfy Apple users in Azerbaijan.

Hi fredfromcan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend signing out of your Apple ID for iMessage on your son's iPhone, instructions for which are found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
To sign out of your Apple ID
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
You may also want to make sure his phone number is deactivated for your Apple ID:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
Cheers,

Be aware, you go that route & every time you try to update or restore, it will error out, leaving your phone unusable. Not to mention, you void all warranty/support.
Sell it & use the proceeds towards an officially unlocked iPhone bought directly from Apple.
Good luck.
