How can change the phone number in my iPad?
If you have an iPhone on the same icloud account as your iPad, you should be able to connect your phone number to your iPad to get all your iMessages and FaceTime calls there.
First, make sure that both devices are on the same iCloud account.
When they are, open the settings on your iPhone. Scroll down to "messages" Then, scroll down to find "Send and receive". Make sure your phone number is listed and check off.
Then, on your iPad, go to settings, and messages again. Find "send and receive". Then, make sure your phone number is checked off in both spots.
You should now be able to send and receive iMessages and FaceTime calls on your iPad from your phone number.
I hope this helps.

How do I change my phone number on iTunes. On my phone just I can't download any apps due to a problem with the numbers not matching
You're really posting in the wrong forum. you should be posting here ( https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store ) Or calling apple support directly.

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.
Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,

How do I add a phone number to my Ipad air in imessage
how do I add a phone number to IMessage on my iPad ai?
Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

How do I remove a phone number from an Ipad
Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...uncheck her number here.
She really needs to get her own Apple ID for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. As you've found out, not doing so will create a mess.
Must be a verified email address. You can create an Apple ID here:

That's the best solution. -

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. -
How do I change my phone number in Messages
Under "Preferences" - Accounts.... It says "You can be reached for messages at:
And thern it lists a phone # and any email addresses you have attached to the account.
I'd like to change the phone number.
Is that possible?
My account mac/me/icloud account all have a different number associated with it. I'd like to change it to THAT #.
Thoughts?HI,
Do you have the iPhone that has the number that is currently Listed in Messages on the Mac ?
If so then go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and remove the Apple ID.
Restart Messages on the Mac.
IS the Number still there ?
If so then in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder type ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears.
In the Preferences find com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and drag both to the Trash
Restart Messages.
These two .plists hold the Server Login info and the "Aliases" IDs (Emails and iPhone Numbers)
Restart Messages (Again).
Now on the new iPhone Add the Apple ID you are using in Messages on the Mac ? (In the Send and Receive spot)
Allow a few minutes and Restart Messages if it does not show an Alert type message from the iMessage Server saying the iPhone is using the Apple ID and phone Number.

How do I change a phone number associated with FaceTime?
My work phone number is associated with my personal iPad and I need to change that. It only allows me to uncheck the phone number but not to change it. Any thoughts?
If the phone number is associated with your Apple ID, follow the instructions at the end of this support article to add it to FaceTime and messages.

How do I change my phone number?
I moved to a new city and would like to get a phone# with my new area code.
If I try this online I get to 'change phone number' page which only allows me to select exchanges in my current area code.
Do I really have to drive to a store to do this?
I cannot for the life of me find an 800# or any contact info on the vzw website,
and if I try 'send an email', after selecting that I get a bill it instead goes to a support forum page, not send email page!
Is this just poor website design or is verizon trying to hide contact phone#s to reduce support costs?You may need to change your primary usage address to your new address in the new city. Once that change has been completed, then maybe the the online change phone number system will select exchanges from the new area code.
You can also call customer service from a different phone at 1-800-922-0204. -
