How do I change my number in Facetime and iMessage???

Hey everyone!
I'm having bigtime problems with my facetime and iMessage..
First of all, I got my iPhone 4s unlocked through AT&T, but now I'm stuck with my old AT&T number..
It's my old number, under the "caller ID" in facetime and in iMessage, and it won't allow me to change it...
So now I can't recieve any facetime calls and any imessages.... :-(
Please help me!

I found this under another thread and it works.
Do the following to correct this:
1) Switch of Wi-FI and make sure you get 3G receptiion
2) Switch off Facetime and for few seconds
3) Go to phone under settings and you should have the correct number
3a) switch off iPhone and turn it back ON
4) Switch facetime back on by entering your iTunes credentials
Hope this helped some of you

    How can I change that? It drives me crazy

    A phone number appears for Messages and FT on an iPod (and iPad) onoy if the some ID used for those services is also used on an iPhone. It use the iPhone's number.

  • HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID  on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • Updating Phone Number for FaceTime and iMessage

    My husband and I both have iPhones, iPads, and I just got a new MacBook Pro. We also share an apple ID. But for some reason I can't seem to get Facetime or iMessage to use my phone number... only my husbands. How do I make the contact number MY number? I already changed it on my Apple ID, but when I open FaceTime, it still only gives me the option to add my husband's number.

    You can add an email address only with FaceTime and iMessage with an iPad and with any Mac or other iOS device besides the iPhone.
    iMessage can be exchanged with any iOS compatible device and with a Mac running OS X 10.7 with the Messages Beta app.

  • HT204380 Why will it not let me use my phone number on FaceTime and iMessage? It's only letting me use my email address

    When I try to select my phone number as a way of FaceTiming and to iMessage me, it is blanked out in a light grey and will not let me select it as an option so I can only be contacted by my email but this isn't how I want to be contacted. Please help?

  • How can i change the number referenced facetime?

    how do i change the phone number referenced with my apple id and factime?

    Hi,
    Use the Apple ID site to Manage your ID to remove any details that you want from the info held.
    If you mean your My Card in your Address Book or Contacts app  has both the Apple ID and the iPhone number listed then you can edit that.
    Also delete com.apple.imservice.FaceTime.plist from your Home folder/Library/Preferences
    In Mountain Lion you need to use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences to access the Folder as the Library is Hidden.
    You may need to set up your registered Apple ID in FaceTime again.

    How do I switch my email account to cell for FaceTime and iMessages?

    I think you are asking how to use your phone number with FaceTime and Messages rather than an email address, but you must have an iPhone number not just any "cell" phone number.

  • Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine? How can I change the number in face time?

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • How to change contact number in facetime

    How to change contact number in facetime?

    You need to activate Facetime on your iPhone with your new number first. If you use the same Apple ID on all your devices, your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically ask you if you want to use your new number for Facetime.
