How do I set up my iMessage/FaceTime on my iPad mini to use my phone number?

It's not giving me an option to chose my phone number, just my email.

  • I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

    I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

  • How do I set a photo as wallpaper to my iPad Mini after iOS 7.0.2 software update?

    I open up the Photos app on my iPad Mini to choose a photograph to use on my home screen and lock screen. First, I hit Select located in the upper right side of the screen of the app and I choose a photograph to use. Second, I choose AirDrop located on the upper left corner of the app. Afterwards, I choose Use as Wallpaper found in AirDrop. Next, the photo is shown with the words Move and Scale on it. Then I choose Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen and Set Both, not all do these at once though. When I click on each of these buttons nothing happens. The photograph I chose will not show up on my Lock Screen and Home Screen. I want to set this photograph to show up on both my Lock Screen and my Home Screen. I am getting very frustrated that I can not set a photograph to Set Both so that it shows up on both my Lock Screen and Home Screen at the same time. I forgot to say that I just went to my settings, then general, then reset and finally Reset All Settings before doing this, because I could not download any new apps at all. I am wondering if this has anything to do with this? I am willing to take any help I can get. In the end, I end up hitting cancel, because I am very frustrated.

    Hello there, RedHead101.
    The following iPhone Basics guide should help you with how to do this. It should work just like that on your iPad:

  • How do I set up iMessage on my iPad using my phone number

    I Know there is a feature which allows me to send iMessages from my iPad using my phone number, but am unable to find it.

    The phone number must be an iPhone number. No other phone number will work.
    Settings> Messages> Send & Receive> You can be reached by iMessages at. If the phone number appears in there, select it as your contact number. If the phone number does not appear, you most likely will have to start over again by turning messages off on your iPhone, enable it again, and then the number should be accessible to use on the iPad.
    This explains it in more detail.

  • How do i use my phone number instead of my apple id for imessage on my iphone5?

    I accidentally selected my apple id for sending and receiving imessages. I want to be reached at my phone number and not my email first, but I can't figure out how to make my phone number the primary and my email the secondary.
    Also, my son and I are in a text message mode between our phones (both apple products) and we can't figure out how to get back to imessage mode. We have both powered off and shut down imessage and we are still going green to each other.

  • How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

    How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app?  I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server.  I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

    Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
    Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
    Good luck!

  • I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" and won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime either

    I have an iPhone 5 and updated it to iOS7 last night but now I can't use iMessage or FaceTime as it says "waiting for activation" As well as that, it won't let me use my phone number to do iMessage or FaceTime it will only let me use my apple ID which I don't want to do.

    Thank you for replying.    Yes I deleted the old email address..   

  • How do I set up cellular account for the New iPad?

    I have an ipad2 and have an existing 3G account with AT&T.  I want to keep this account as I plan to keep the iPad2.  When I received my New iPad today I set it up from a backup of th iPad2 on the iCloud.  Therefore it now has the cellular account data for the 3G associated with the iPad 2.  How do I set up a separate 4G LTE which will only be used by the New iPad (iPad3).  Thanks for any help.

    I don't see how to "log out" once I have gone to settings/cellular data.  Thanks

  • How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

    I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
    Thank you!

    TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage
