Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To change the phone number or mail address that you use on FaceTime for Mac, open FaceTime, go to FaceTime menu > Preferences, and mark the phone numbers or mail addresses you want to use.
If you want to change phone numbers, you have to do it on the iPhone

How do I change the phone number for IM and FaceTime?

Since my update to IOS 6 my FaceTime and IM are using my wife's phone number and I can't change it to mine. The email address are editable but the phone number is not. Help?

All of my devises are updated to iOS6. But after reading your reply I tried turning off iM and face time in all three devices, powered them all down for 10 minutes. I turned my phone back on first (the one I wanted associated with my iPad) then turned on my iPad. I turned on iM and face time on my phone, then the iPad. In came up with all my info including my (correct number) phone number. Then I turned on my wife's phone and turned her iM and FaceTime on. Her number also popped up in the iPad but I could choose what number I wanted to use and left hers off. Her phone number is associated with my iTunes acc because we share all of our music and apps. For a little privacy you'll have to make a separate iTunes acc to completely get the unwanted number off the iPad. As long as both numbers are there you can switch between phone numbers and see iM messaging.
So basically the phone numbers in the iPad are edited thru the individual phones, iTunes acc and not the iPad itself.
Hope this helped if you're having the same issue.

How do I change the mobile number re messages on iPad air

How do I chane the mobile number re messages on my new ipad air. It seems to be coming up with my husbands number ...

Are you using your husband's Apple ID from his iPhone?
Do you have an iPhone associated with your Apple ID?
To associate Messages on an iPad with a phone number you need to have an iPhone that has the Phone number so it can be associated with the Apple ID being used on both devices (iPhone and iPad).

Which do you mean.
I sort of was refering to both.
If you have a plan, it's just LTE, or wireless on the go.
Apple doesnt give you a phone number, thats the way they've been manufacturing iPads, just with Wireless plans.
Apple doesn't give out phone numbers or wireless plans. Only the cell carriers do that. While A Cell Plan for an iPad has a number its just for Identification purposes by the carrier, and cannot be used for Messages.
Also it is not necessarry to have a cellular iPad with a cellular plan to have a number for messages. As I said, you need an iPhone to do this.

HT4534 How can I change the contact number for facetime

My face time on the imac, contact number is set to my other iphone. I would like to change the contact number to one of my other iphones? How can I achieve this?

Thanks all for your responses.
I tried to "order" Siri to change my husband's default number and whatever syntax I used for my request Siri responded with a web search on how to set favorites.
So I ended up deleting the work number from my husband's contact information and I used Siri to call him a couple of times. After 24 hours (random time frame) I added his work mobile back to his contact information, but not in the favorites.
SIri now dials his home number because it's the only one in the favorites.
I'll add it to the favorites in due course.

Hi PPlatt,
You can modify your_listener_home_directory/apex/apex.properties

How can I change the default number for a contact when using Siri

My husband has one mobile for work, one for home, both are in my favorites. When i'd ask Siri to dial his number, it would always ask me which one to use. Recently when calling him Siri asked if I would like to use his work number as the default and I mistakenly agreed. Now Siri never asks which number to dial and always dials the work number. How can I change that? I would like to make the default the home number.

Thanks all for your responses.

Hi Peter,
Sounds like your iPad is using your Wife's Apple ID. Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive is the Apple ID that appears there your Wife's? If so tap it and select Sign Out and login with your own Apple ID.

How do I change the phone number for iMessage on my iPad with a shared iTunes account

Any suggestions?

Hi Lori284,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
First remove the existing phone number:
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 ID password.
Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
Cheers,
- Ari
