How do you change the phone number in facetime
Just changed my new 4G phone number. I see in face time it still has the number that was originally assigned to it. How can I change that number in face time to my current number?
Did you register your phone using iTunes? Thats the way Apple associates your phone number to your Apple ID and FaceTime tracks users based on Apple ID.
For registering your phone in iTunes, connect it to iTunes as you would for syncing and then when the registration screen pops up, follow the instructions to complete the registration process.

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 you change the phone number associated with apple id
I bought my wife an IPad 2 and when setting it up it said I could change the phone number later in settings. Now when I get a text-- she gets a copy on her IPad. I can't see where in settings to change this to her phone number.
The phone number associated with an Apple ID is changed here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Click on manage my Apple ID and sign in. Then go to your profile and make the necessary changes.
But your question is a little confusing. Controlling which device receives texts and Messages is done in Setstings
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive from
Make the necessary changes there. -
TS3367 How do I change the phone number in FaceTime on my iPad?
Somehow my daughters phone number is in my settings. I need to change to mine so that I can receive messages and FaceTime on my iPad how do you change it?
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 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.

My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?
Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
If he does not have an ID then
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Hello Babyygrl23,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see below on how to change your phone number for iCloud Keychain:
Change how new devices can be approved
After setting up iCloud Keychain on your Mac, you can change whether your iCloud Security Code can be used to approve iCloud Keychain on new devices. You can also change the iCloud Security Code or the phone number used to verify your identity after you use the iCloud Security Code.
In iCloud Preferences, make sure Keychain is on, click Account Details, then change your iCloud Security Code settings.

How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad
If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on. If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out. Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct. Then sign in on your iPad.

How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?
TestArchitect wrote:
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.
