How do you change the phone number on an ipad mini in the imessage settings?

The Phone number of a Cellular iPad is assigned by the carrier the iPad is connected to.  Usually changing the sim card will change this number.
If that is not what you mean can you please explain in more detail

  • How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

    How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

    Thanks again Chris.
    I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
    Thanks for your help,
    Larry

  • How do you find your phone number?

    How do you find your phone number?

    You can't.  The iPod tuch does not have a phone number.  For the Messages and FaceTime apps you use the email address that yu set them up with.  With some oher texting apps like Text+, the apps assign you a phone number.

    How do you change categories in both transactions and budget report in the personal budget template in Numbers?
    I am working on both an iPad mini and a MacBook Air. 
    Whenever I change the category name in the budget report, it does not actually show up in the transactions tab when I am using the Personal Budget Template.

  • How to activate phone number for cellular iPad mini?

    I Have a iPad mini with cellular and a phone # for it from Verizon. I can't find the way to activate the phone number given from Verizon to use for iMessage. Im swritings it only shows option for adding an email.

    That phone number will not work for iMessages, so you cannot activate the iPad for that purpose. You need to have an iPhone in order to use that number as your caller ID and the number at which you can be reached, Cellular iPads have no phone capabilities. They use cellular data to connect to the Internet when there is no Wifi network to connect to. A WiFi only iPad can only connect to the Internet when using a WiFi network.

  • When IOS7 comes out, will the current iPhone 5 and iPad mini have the finger scanner option, or is it just the new 5S, because in the release videos, they showed an on screen finger scanner, so I was curious whether older models will have this function?

    The fingerprint scanner will be a function of new hardware.

  • How do I change the phone number on my iPad

    Somehow my iPad has my daughters phone number on it how do I change it to mine

    Only iPhone numbers that are associated with an Apple ID can be used as the number at which you can be reached for FaceTime. I assume that you share an Apple ID with someone that has an iPhone. My wife, daughter and I all have iPhones and we share on Apple ID for purchases. We all use our own respective iPhone numbers for FaceTime and Messages on our iDevices and Macs.
    You have to change the number in Settings>FaceTIme>You can be reached by FaceTime at. Select your own phone number in there and uncheck the phone number that is currently showing. If your own number isn't appearing, you will have to sign out of FaceTime on all iPhones and other iDevices associated with the Apple ID and you may have to sign out of Messages as well on all devices. Then you sign in again on the iPhone first in order to make all of the phone numbers accessible in the settings.
    This explains how to link your phone number with FaceTime nd Messages.

  • How do I change the phone number in my iPad for messaging

  • How can I change my phone number for iMessages and FaceTime?

    When I am using my iPad for iMessages and FaceTime, it displays a different cell number than my own.  How can I change this number to my cell phone?  When I log using my Apple ID, it shows the other number and will not let you change it.  Is there a way to change it?

    I found the answer.  You can do this by:
    For iMessage-
    Settings>Message>Send & Receive>Log into your Apple account
    For FaceTime-
    Settings>FaceTime>Log into your Apple account
    Once in, you can select the phone number you want to use.  After completing this task, you can then go to Settings on your iPad and select iMessage and FaceTime.  Preform the same steps as above and the phone number will be changed.

  • How do you add a phone number from recent history to an exisiting contact?

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded to a Razr M from a Droid X. When I'd get a call or make one to a new number that, for whatever reason, was not in my contacts, it was a simple matter to add. This seems to have the same buttons to add to an existing contact, but it simply refused to do so.
    Let me explain with an example. I had transferred via syncing the backup assistant, my contacts. However, the very first number I went to dial was not in my list at all, which was strange because he was not only in my list but on on favorites and on one of my home screens (so you'd think he'd transfer over). Regardless, after I dialed his number by looking him up off the old phone, I hung up and went to add him. He still wasn't showing in my list. So I went to the Facebook app, thinking maybe he'd pull over that way. Sure it enough it found him but no phone number (no big surprise but some people allow a number to be shown for friends). So now that I have his FB account, I went back to recent calls, pressed and held, and then selected add to existing. I found him in the list, pressed that contact, and hit save. But it refused to link the phone number to his contact info. No matter how many times I re-tried this and hit save (and looked for other buttons to press to no avail), I could not add him.
    I assume that if it will crew up for him, it will screw up for others.
    Please help. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I link a phone number I've dialed (or received) to one of my existing contacts?? Is there some step I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

        Don't worry Mark_and_Karla, you are not really doing the wrong steps, it just needs a few tweeks. What most likely is happening is that some of your contacts may have been synced with your gmail account set up on your old and new phone. This means that it would not show up in your backup assistant listing but rather your google contacts. If you go into your people app and then select the menu button (three vertical square boxes bottom right) you will select Contacts to display. You should see an option for your gmail account contacts. If you see the contact in their then that means it is saved under that form.
    Now you can choose to customize to show both your backup assistant contacts and gmail contacts while in the contacts to display screen. Now in regards to not being able to sync the number to the FB contact listing, it is not an option. All the contacts listed under FB contacts are non editable because they only show you information linked to their FB and that information can only be edited by that user. Now if you create a contact with the same name, the FB app should integrate the two into one contact eventually once it does an update. This is only if you chose to sync contacts with FB when you set up the FB app on your phone. You can delete and redownload the FB app to get this option again. Overall if you follow these steps, you should be able to find and or sync that and other contacts on your phone.

  • How do I change my phone number in Messages

    Under "Preferences" - Accounts....  It says "You can be reached for messages at:
    And thern it lists a phone # and any email addresses you have attached to the account. 
    I'd like to change the phone number.
    Is that possible?
    My account mac/me/icloud account all have a different number associated with it.  I'd like to change it to THAT #.
    Thoughts? 

    HI,
    Do you have the iPhone that has the number that is currently Listed in Messages on the Mac ?
    If so then go to Settings > Messages > Send and Receive and remove the Apple ID.
    Restart Messages on the Mac.
    IS the Number still there ?
    If so then in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder type ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears.
    In the Preferences find com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and drag both to the Trash
    Restart Messages.
    These two .plists hold the Server Login info and the "Aliases" IDs (Emails and iPhone Numbers)
    Restart Messages (Again).
    Now on the new iPhone Add the Apple ID you are using in Messages on the Mac ? (In the Send and Receive spot)
    Allow a few minutes and Restart Messages if it does not show an Alert type message from the iMessage Server saying the iPhone is using the Apple ID and phone Number.
