You can only send and receive iMessages on iPads-they do not do SMS
The messages you send to phone numbers are known as SMS. The iPad cannot send those. Only iMessages through email addresses.

Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.

Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.I have iphone4s,ios6 upgraded.

Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at and Start new conversations from. If you never want an iMessage addressed to your registered iMessage email address or addresses, remove the email addresses below you can be reached by iMessage at and be sure to have your cell phone number selected for start new conversations from.
The same for FaceTime at Settings > FaceTime.

Since signing up and paying for PDF conversion I have never been able to get the document I download to look anything like the original form. How do I correct this and what is a phone number to contact someone at Adobe

What I scan into my computer and what Adobe converts look nothing alike. Many discrepancies How do I correct this and what is a phone number to speak with a human being at Adobe

Does it say it will convert into an exact copy of the PDF? If it does, marketing need to fix what they say. Just converting is miracle enough for me, knowing the difficulties.
If it isn't going to satisfy you, you need to contact Adobe for a refund. Use the CHAT link in support (be sure to make the right choices, or you don't get the link).

TS2755 My husband and I have iPhone 4S's. For some reason, my text messages show up on his phone. We share the Apple ID, and my settings are such that I send and receive from my phone number and email address. How do we correct this?

My husband and I both have iphone 4S's and for some reason he gets my text conversations w/ other people. We share the apple ID and I have my settings set to and from my phone # and email address. He is getting tired of being apart of text messages I am on. How do we remedy this?

Each of you need to have your own apple id's instead of sharing is the best way. But you can go to each phones settings, messages, send and recieve, and down to start new conversation from, and make sure each of you have your own email address with a check mark beside of it not the same address.

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 I change my imessage from email to phone number?

My phone has recently started sending imessages from my gmail address instead of my phone number. I have not changed any settings, but I noticed that in settings -> messages -> send & receive it now shows my gmail address selected instead of my phone number. I can't select my phone number or remove the email address to switch it back. help?

Deactivate iMessage on your phone. Restart phone. Re-Activate iMessage.
That should do it.

TS2755 Turn on send and receive for your phone number

I can't turn my phone number on to send and receive messages it is grayed out.

So the issue is with iMessage.
In the future, it is extremely important to be specific about the issue that is occurring.

Yahoo mail keeps locking up and going back to sign in page; that, COMBIGNED with returning to a continue to change password and add mandatory mobile phone number.

Maybe a bug? Time consuming process to find topic and support page to ask about this, and I know somewhere ive seen a link to report a bug but didn't find it on a web search and not sure if it's a bug or just a new nusence.

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

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

Thank You

. You do not need a seperate Apple ID. One one device you just need to go to Settings>Messages and add another/different Messaging email address and delete the common Apple ID address. Also see:
