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,

    i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
    My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

    How do i change the phone number that my Keychain is associated with?

    Hello Boogie3339,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please see below on how to change your phone number for iCloud Keychain:
    Change how new devices can be approved
    After setting up iCloud Keychain on your Mac, you can change whether your iCloud Security Code can be used to approve iCloud Keychain on new devices. You can also change the iCloud Security Code or the phone number used to verify your identity after you use the iCloud Security Code.
    In iCloud Preferences, make sure Keychain is on, click Account Details, then change your iCloud Security Code settings.

  • How do I change the phone number on imessage?

    I just updated to ios 6 and the update for mountain lion. What i cant seem to do is change the phone number on imessage from my wifes to mine on my personal mac pro. How do i do that?

    Hi,
    In the first Instance Messages allows you to Call from the Contacts list.
    On the second hand iCloud will sync your Contacts to the iPhone.
    If your My Card in the Contacts (Head and Shoulders iCon) then you  will not be calling your own iPhone or it will not be listed as the phone number in the iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 update changes.

  • How do i change the phone number in imessage

    Anyone know how to change the phone number associated with imessage...This is an ipod touch so there is no sim card.

    The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number if the same Apple ID is used for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive is also used for an iPhone. Thus you need to get another phone number for the phone.

  • How do you change the phone number in imessages?

    my wife and I share an account and her phone number shows up on my new ipad and am wondering how I change the phone number to reflect my phone number?

    I use one Apple ID and can use Messages and FaceTime on four different devices by assigning different email addresses to 3 of the devices. As long as both phone numbers are associated with the one Apple ID, it should be possible to do what you want to do. You may have to turn off and sign out of messages on all devices so that you can get the phone number to appear in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
    This should be helpful. Take a look.

  • 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 phone number for i message on my ipad mini?

    The phone number to reach me via imessage is my wife's iphone number. How do edit it to change it to mine?

    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 i can change the phone number for face time in iPhone 6

    plas i want change my old number to new number for face time in iPhone

    Go into Settings, turn FaceTime off. Power the phone off/on. Go back into Settings, turn on FaceTime and let it activate. The phone number comes from the SIM and the activation message. It should populate the correct number.

    I have a new phone number but cannot get my iPad iMessage to change to the new number

    I am assuming you have an iPhone?  have you gone into Settings>Messages and updated everything there, if so I would have thought an option would then be present on the iPad.

  • 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.
