How do you change the original registered phone number on the 3GS?

I am using a new sim in the 3Gs but the registered phone number on the device details remains the same so when you use imessaging it displays the old phone number.  How do I change this?

Usually phone picks up this information automatically from the SIM.
You can change it from SETTINGS - PHONE - MY NUMBER

  • How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    How do I change my iPads FaceTime phone number?

    If your wife's cell number was listed on the iPad, you must have set up the iPad using her iCloud account (Apple ID) instead of your own. iCloud automatically populates the phone number to other devices with the same iCloud account, but you should be able to deactivate it.
    That number that is assigned to your iPad is just an internal routing and billing number for your carrier. My carrier (AT&T) makes a clear statement in the legal documents that this number is not for phone calls or (SMS or MMS) messages, just for data delivery. For whatever reason, Apple does not allow it to be used in the iMessages system.

  • How do you combine iMessage sent to phone number and email?

    I talk to someone who sends me imessages to my phone number from their phone, and also from their ipad to my email. Both phone number and email are under the same contact. But the mesages go into 2 different threads. Id like to combine them since being under the same contact they show up exactly the same in the messages list.. so i cant tell if im messaging the ipad or the phone..
    ideally id like to write a message to that contact and it would go to both their ipad and iphone...
    anyways.. how do I combine them?

    This is possible and you can also send and receive iMessages to your MacBook from one phone number without having to use any email address whatsoever. This also means you will have one chat thread with all of your messages not two.
    Anyone will tell you that I am a hardcore Apple Fan, however, sometimes they lack in the instructions area. For a while now I have had a problem with iMessages being sent from my MacBook. I could send an iMessage from my phone with no problem and my friend would receive it from my phone number however, the problem would arise when I would send a iMessage from my MacBook to to the same friend and a new thread would be created, so in essence she would have two different messages for me, one from my phone number and one from my email. After numerous attempts of contacting Apple Customer Service with no avail, I eventually figured it out on my own. I did aggrate some friends because I had to send messages relentlessly. In the end I found a solution and here are the instructions.
    You’re going to go into iMessage on your computer, go to messages in the top left, click on preferences and then click on accounts. Look under “you can be reached for messages at” you should see your email and or your phone number.
    If you do not see your phone number you need to add it to your account at this site. “https://appleid.apple.com/” click on manage your Apple ID and then sign in. After you sign in you will go to another screen and on your left you’ll see a list of choices click on phone numbers. Add your phone number and click save changes. It usually takes a few seconds for your iMessage account to update. Completely quit iMessage in the toolbar and then reopen it and go back into messaging preferences and then accounts.
    After that has been done your phone number should now be added to the “you can be reached for messages at” section. Click on your phone number and then uncheck your email address.
    Then go into your iPhone settings, messages, then scroll down to send and receive. Uncheck any email, only your phone number should have a checkmark, if your phone number does not have a checkmark... check it. You should receive a pop-up on your iPhone saying so-and-so’s MacBook is now using “insert phone number here” for iMessages.

  • How do you change apps on your phone with out using the home button?

    Just trying to see if there is an easier way.

    You can enable Assistive Touch which puts a small square with a circle on your screen and can use that to switch apps/exit to the Home Screen, I believe.

  • How do you change what your mouse looks like on the screen?

    I would like to change how my mouse icon looks and how the it looks when something is loading. How do I do that?

    You can only change the size of the cursor, not the cursor itself. Apple has determined that the mouse cursor is the way it is supposed to be and the user should not change it.
    To change cursor size,  go to Sys. Preferences, accessibility, there's a slider for cursor size

  • How to mass change part of a phone number in AB?

    Here is my problem:
    In Brazil we need to add a carrier code to the number while performing a long distance call. Example: in the following number (61) 5555-5555, the "(61)" is the area code and the "5555-5555 is the number. To make a long distance call to that number I need to use a carrier code and the number ends up like this: (021 61) 5555-5555.
    Since I moved to a different carrier with better prices I need to change the "021" part of all my numbers to "041". Is there a feature or add-on that can make this process automatic?

    If there is look for it at VersionTracker or MacUpdate or one of the several AppleScript sites. Otherwise, you will need to write an AppleScript to do the job.

  • How do I disable imessage to a phone number without the phone?

    I switched from my iphone 4 to the galaxy note 3. I love the phone but whenever iphone users text me it is still sending in imessage. This is obviously an issue because a lot of my friends have an iphone still. I have went into my account and disabled all devices on the icloud. I have also turned off imessage on my ipad and my parents imac. When I switched my phones at the store they bought my iphone, so I do not have the option to turn it off on that. I need a solution to where imessages only get sent to my email or just as SMS. I thought that when I switched I would have become unrecognizeable in imessaging, but obviously I thought wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Clyde. I called that number but they told me to go to icloud.com and delete the number while looking at it under Find My iPhone. It didn't change anything. Other iphone users can still send me imessages. Is there a way I can delete my whole account and basically unregister my information from the system?

  • How do you change ring time before giong to viocemail?

    How do you change ring time before phone goes to voicemail?

    You can configure many call-handling features on the iPhone, but not the number of times an incoming call rings before it goes to voicemail. Only your carrier can change that variable. Wireless service providers uniformly grant incoming calls four rings within roughly 20 seconds before sending them to voicemail. If you find that ring length too short or too long, contact your carrier to adjust it.
