How do I change phone numbers associated with an iPad?

How do I change phone number associated with my iPad?

Obviously you must have an iPhone in order to associate the phone number with the FaceTime and Messages apps on your iPad. You haven't clearly stated what you want to do other than associate a phone number, so I assume these are the two apps that you want to associate the phone number with.
If you are unable to add the phone number in the settings in either or both of these apps, you may have to sign out of both apps on the Phone and the iPad - and then sign in again on both devices in order to use the phone number for FaceTime and Messages on the iPad.
This kb article explains how to do this in more detail.

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.

  • How do i change the name associated with my icloud

    how do i change the name associated with my icloud

    If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

  • HT5622 change phone number associated with facetime appleid

    I am trying to change the phone number associated with the appleID for facetime.  How do I that?

    You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
    You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

  • How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

    OK I am sure that this is a common issue.  Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch.   She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age.  A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone.   All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
    Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality.  She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address.  My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
    I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her."  That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with.  She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased.  And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place.  As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
    Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

    I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!

  • Change phone number associated with apple id

    Why can you not change the phone number associated with an apple id?  I recently bought a new iPhone 5s and gave my 4s to my husband.  When he put his sim card in the 4s, it seems like a message came up asking if he wanted to use that number for iMessage and I clicked yes never knowing it was going to change the phone number I have associated with my Apple id.  He is not tech savy at all and we both share the same Apple id. I have always had my phone number associated with it and so when I get an iMessage it comes on my Mac computer, iPad, and iPhone--which I like.  Now my computer and iPad only have his number with it and there is not an option to add my number back.  My phone still shows my cell number associated with iMessage.  I am afraid to update my phone in case it knocks me off of iMessage.  I have tried the signing in and out of IMessage and Face time on my computer and iPad and that does not help.  I just want to change the phone number associated with it.

  • How do I change the names associated with numbers on my bill

    I have multiple numbers on my bill that have the wrong names associated with them.  I have tried calling *611 only to wait and then be disconnected. I am the account owner  and am unable to locate where to correct the information.

    Online, in My Verizon / View Usage / Minutes / Breakdown of Recent Activity / Current Call Log for Line / Select a Line, a log of calls incoming and outgoing since the last billing date are shown. For years, I would be able to click on the blue telephone number and a popup box would show up to Add/Update Nick Name. I would type in a name, for example, Mom and then click on Add/Update and the name would then replace the number in the listing. As of two months ago, I can still do this EXCEPT the name will NOT replace the number! This is so irritating as I have been assning names to the numbers for years for ease of search and identifying the calls. I have call ed Customer Servcie at least htree times on this issue. I have tried to Add/Edit Nick Name in two odfferent browsers (Internet Explorer as well as Firefox) and I have tried it on two dofferent laptops in two diofferent wireless networks. So I know it is NOT an issue with my hardware or networks. The issue is on Verizon's end. I am puzzled that others have not complained. Maybe I am the only doofud that likes to assign names to the numbers? But I would be most grateful if someone within the Community or Verizon's Customer Servcie can resolve this issue once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • HT204053 How do I change the appleID associated with my icloud on my phone.  It has an old appleid and I can't change it?

    How do you change an old apple ID that is being used in Icloud on your Iphone?

    Hi,
    First Call customer service, or go to an apple store, they have a process to determine you actually own the account and are not someone trying to steal it.  Do you still have access to your email address?  If not, you need to talk with them and hopefully you set up a security question.  If you did great! They will ask you that, as well as a few basic q's they have.  If you are the owner, they can and will be glad to help.
    Best of luck

  • How do I change the bank associated with receiving my ebill?

    I'm trying to setup my bank account to receive ebills from Verizon, but whenever I try I receive the following message, "This account number is already active for e-bills. E-bills can only be associated with one user name."  I've looked all over my account but cannot find where to change this information.

        JLoope Let's figure out how to update your banking information for ebilling. Since the message is indicating that you already have an account active for ebills, is there a section where you delete the current information?

  • How do I change the AppleID associated with my iPhone4?

    My iPhone4 is associated with AppleID me@work I also use AppleID me@home The email account me@work no longer exists.  I want to reassign my iPhone4 to AppleID me@home.  How do I do this?

    iOS5 installed? If so, try the following:
    Under Settings --> Store, sign out. Then sign in again using your preferred Apple ID
    In Settings --> Messages --> Recieve At --> Click Apple ID, then sign out and sign in with another ID
    In Settings --> iCloud, click "Delete Account" to unlink the phone from current Apple ID. Sign in with the new preferred ID.
    If at any point it asks if you want to delete locally stored data, tell it no.
    If that doesn't work for you, then open iTunes, plug in the phone, and reset it to factory defaults. Then set it up again as a NEW phone with the preferred Apple ID rather than restoring from backup.
    Caveat: If you install apps that were purchased with me@work, there is no way to transfer them to me@home. You can install them if the computer used to set up the phone is authorized for the me@work account. BUT this means every time you need to update apps, you will have to sign out of me@home in Store, then sign in again as me@work... it will only update apps purchased on currently signed-in Apple ID. Only SIMPLE solution to this that I know is to re-purchase all the apps.
