how do i correct the phone number in iMessage on iPad air

Sign out of iMessage on your iPad. Sign out on your iPhone. Sign back in on your iPhone. Once it's completely signed back in, sign back in on your iPad using the same Apple ID.

    Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?

    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 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.

  • HT204085 How do I correct the phone number I used when I set up icloudkeychain?

    I just set up iCloud Keychain. However when I press accept I realized at the last moment the last number of the phone number is incorrect. How do I fix this?

    Just go to "Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain" here you can change your associated phone number. Please note that you should be able to receive SMS at the moment of changing your number in order to be able to verify your new number.

  • 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

  • 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 add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

    Use a free email address like gmail.com.

  • 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.

  • How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

    I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
    I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
    I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
    Thanks so much

    The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

  • How do you change the phone number attached to an iPad?

    My husband and I share an iTunes account. His iPad picked up my phone number. How do we change it?

    It can not be changed however the behavious of iMessage and Facetime can be changed by removing the chek beside the number and address you don't want in Settings/Messages/Send & Receive  and settings/FaceTime. The best would be to set your husband's iPad up on his own account for iCloud. You can leave the Stores logged into the same account to share apps and purchases. Messages and FaceTime are easier to setup and work much better on their own accounts, especailly if you both wish to use these features between yourselves.
