How do I delete my current number from showing up on my old iPhone 5?

So my girlfriend and I both upgraded our iPhone 5 to the our new iPhone 6.  We backed up both phones and transferred everything to the new phones.  I was thinking about selling the phones but I noticed that my current number is still on my old phone and my girlfriends number is still on her old phone.  The number is located when
I tried researching this but nothing seems to work.  I did the Settings/General/Reset/Erase all settings and content.  I have tried doing it through iTunes.  Its like the phone is ready to be set up as new, and everything is cleared on the phone except our numbers.  We are not signed into iCloud.  I even signed on to my iCloud account on my girlfriends old phone but her number still shows.  Its very frustrating. 
Bottom line, is I am trying to get rid of our current phone numbers that are still on our old iPhones.  Everything works perfectly on our new iPhone 6.
EDIT: I just realized that our old iPhones still says Verizon on them.  Do we possibly have to deactivate the phones some how?  If so, how do we do that?

Yes I was going through the activation process on both phones.  Weird thing is I did the same thing for my daughters old iPhone 4 (which I was going to use as an iPod) and her number cannot be seen.  Her phone doesn't show "Verizon" on it either.
I thought about keeping my girlfriends old iPhone 5 as a gym iPod  and when I go through the start up process, and using my apple ID, iCloud info, it still shows HER number.
So I have couple more questions:
If I decided to keep my girlfriends old iPhone 5, should i transfer in my sim card from my old iPhone 5?
I might give my old iPhone 5 to my brother.  Should I give it to him without a sim card and let him get his own?
Why does both phone 5's say Verizon, and my daughters iPhone 4 doesn't?

  • How do you delete a phone number from an iphone that is listed under other and not in the contacts list?

    When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.

    Did you manage to resolve this issue?
    I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text.

  • How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

    I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

    Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
    Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
    The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo

  • In Pages - How do I delete a page number from an imported Word doc?

    I was sent an email with a six page WORD document attached. The attachment opened in Pages. Most of it is good, but there are page number characters in the wrong place.  I cannot do anything to them. They seem to be outside the document text, off to the right side and only partially showing. Definitely not at the bottom where they should be seen. Going over them with the cursor does not allow me to select and delete these numbers.  I thought they might be in footnote format and in the Inspector I unchecked Header and Footnote, which did nothing to help. 
    Also, I've tried without success to just go and add my own page numbers which might work, but then will need white-out or similar to remove the old page number.
    Working in Text and PDF format did not work, either, and I do not have Word.
    Unfortunately, I've spent hours on this and really hope somebody has a good suggestion on how to deal with these characters.
    Thanks

    Just to clarify, once you have done this you still need to use the command key and 'lasoo' the object from off the edge. So full process (in version '09 4.3) is
    Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable
    Then put your mouse to the edge of the page, press CMD key and drag to select the offending item. Then it will appear with a box around and can be deleted.
    Thanks to all who posted these tips - I was pulling my hair out over a client document!

  • How can I delete a gmail account from showing up automatically when I sign into google?

    My husband checked his gmail on my iphone4.
    I am not sure what he did, but when I go to google to sign in to check one of my gmail accounts his is showing up with his password already filled in.
    How can I get this off of my iphone.
    I do not have the the app for the email. It says to add the app or go to the mobile site and that is what I do.
    I go thru safari, go to google, go to sign in and his info is there.
    In order for me to get to my gmail account I have to delete his information then key in my information.
    I can then sign into mine and then when I am done I sign out.
    It will even give me the to option to manage my account and I "remove" his but it shows back up next time I go sign in again.
    Please help me get this off of my iphone 4.
    I have an email set up under settings on my phone so I know it is not that.

    Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords + Autofill > Saved Passwords and see if the Google account is listed there. Delete it if it is.

  • How do I remove a phone number from iMessage on my Mac?

    I get a new iPhone tomorrow on a completely new number and I wanted to know how I can remove my current number from being used for iMessage on my mac so that when I get my new phone I can set it up

    HI,
    In the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
    Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears (you can Copy and Paste the bold text).
    In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Restart Messages.
    It will list nothing in the iMessages account and you will have to Add the Apple ID.
    Once you have the new iPhone set it up for the Apple ID and the Mac version will then get a pop up asking for your to Accept which will then add the iPhone Number to the Settings.

    I want to delete my credit card from my account and only use gift cards.  How can I delete my card number?

    You'll want to get in touch with ITunes support for this. Normally when you start an account with the CC you can't remove it yourself. But by contacting iTunes they can get that taken off for you.

    You can't delete an account, you can only stop using it.  If you're getting that error message you won't be able to create a new account on your device.  Your only options are to re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account on a different iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.
