How do we remove our current phone numbers from our old iPhones?

So my girlfriend and I both upgraded our iPhone 5 to the 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.
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?

Fixed the issue by doing:
Switched off Face Time (Setting -> FaceTime-> FaceTime OFF)
Switched off iMessage(Setting -> Messages->iMessage OFF)
Switched on iMessage (The phone started “Verifying”the incorrect phone number, failed and set it to the correct ported number (seeSettings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Phone).
At this point the “My Number” (Settings ->Phone -> My Number) had also updated.
Switched on Face(Same “Verifying” as with iMessage, but tooktwo attempts).
Power Cycled the ‘phone and re-synced to updateiTunes (Summary “Phone Number” field).
Hope this helps!

  • HT1349 just got a new iphone. How do you transfer phone numbers from an old iphone to a new one

    How do you transfer phone numbers from a 3gs to a 4s?

    PLug your 3gs into iTunes, in the left panel right click on your iPhone and create a backup. After the back up is complete plug your 4s into iTunes, right click on it in the left panel and select restore from backup, select the backup file from your 3gs and that should load everything from your 3gs to your new iphone

  • Getting phone numbers from my old iPhone to my new one

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 5, and can't figure out how to get my stored phone numbers from my very old iPhone 3 to my new phone.

    Your contacts should be on your computer.  You should be syncing them regularly.
    Have you failed to do this?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I remove locations and/or pins from maps on iphone 5

    How can I remove locations and/or pins from MAPS?

    A purple pin is a dropped pin. You access that from the "back" of the map, but touching the lower right corner of the map. It is a pin that is dropped in the center of the map you happen to be looking at at the time. If there is no description of the pin, touch the pin and it should show a label, and on the right side of the label there is a blue arrowhead. Touch that and it will provide an address/description of the pin's location and there should be other options, such as directions to here, from here, etc., and then one to remove the pin. Touch that and it should disappear.

  • How do I retrieve my notes and reminders from my old iPhone to my new iPhone?

    All my notes on my iPhone 3Gs are not visible on iTunes. With iCloud enabled they still do not sync to my new iPhone. However the opposite occurs. New notes written on my iPhone 5 are syncing back to my 3Gs.
    Is there any way I can just view them from my Mac and copy them from one iPhone to the other?

  • I have a new iphone how can I see what is on iCloud from my old iphone?

    I have new iphone and ipad.  How can I see what is on my old iphone on iCloud so I can delete some space???

    If you mean you want to see what is stored in the iCloud backup of your old phone, you can't.  You can only see data in a backup by restoring it to your device.
    If you mean you want to see the data you old phone was syncing with icloud, either go to icloud.com from your computer or sign into the account on your new phone in Settings>iCloud and turn on the data you want to see.  It will then download to your phone.

    How to upload all my pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone

    If you want everything copied over then you can copy your iTunes downloads over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then backup up your old phone via File > Devices > Back Up - you can then restore that backup onto your new phone (or iPad as this is the Using iPad forum).

  • How can we remove the "Attack Site" warning from our webpage?

    We host several domains with Dreamhost. (1st mistake)
    Our account was hacked and is being resolved.
    We have taken our site down.
    When searching our url, our prospective customers will see an Explorer message which reads a Dreamhost message stating this website has been "voluntarily parked". Site coming soon.
    In Firefox, the Attack Site message in red is still showing. Can you please remove the message as our website is not available for public viewing?
    Thank you.

    I get a status 200 with a message from the site that it is under construction. If I am using the correct URL (www.usana2013.co.za) maybe you need to clear your Firefox cache.

  • How can i export my contacts numbers from my old iphone and import it to my new iphone?

    I want change my iphone,but i dont want to lose my numbers and datas!

    If Contacts are the only thing you care about, you can turn on iCloud on the old phone following the setup instructions in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ and insure that you turn on Contacts in the list of items to be synced.
    You can verify that the contacts are uploaded to iCloud by then logging in to https://www.icloud.com
    On your new phone, when you setup iCloud and turn on Contacts, as you did on the old phone following the instructions above, the contacts will automatically sync to the new phone.
    If you want to transfer more than just contacts, the following has instructions on how to backup the old phone and restore to the new one (either using iCloud or iTunes): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
