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.

    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.

    hi where can i fine my serial number for my ipad mine was stolen

    It would be on your box.  If you registered it with Apple, you could also sign into your support profile and see it there (https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do).  Finally, if you ever backed it up using iTunes you can go to iTunes preferences>Devices and hover you mouse over the backup to reveal the serial number.

    You aren't running Mac OS X 10.3 if you have an iPad.  The oldest Mac OS X that will connect to an iPad from a Mac is Mac OS X 10.5.   The solution should be here.

  • How to change phone number for key chain verification

    I've entered a wrong mobile phone number for receiving the key chain verification code.
    How can I change this phone number?

    Well, the only way I found is to reset iCloud Keychain entirely. Go to System Preferences->iCloud->Keychain, put in your password to your Apple ID, and click "Forgot code?" on the next screen. You'll be prompted to reset Keychain entirely, which you will have to do in order to change your number, unless you have AppleCare, in which case you can call them and have them set it up for you.

  • How long does it take for the iPad Mini to process?

    I ordered it on thursday along with headphones and the headphones already processed and shipped but the iPad mini is still processing and I was wondering how long will it take for it to process because it still hasn't billed me yet for it.

    The Apple Sptre website says iPad minis in any configuration will be available to ship in two weeks. That's usually a good estimate. The other items were available now and in stock so they shipped. The iPad mini is still in short supply and will most likely ship in two weeks as the website says.

  • Is the serial number for an iPad mini specific to the gb's on the device?

    I just bought a 32 gb iPad mini off eBay with some damage.  Taking it to the Apple store, I found out I was able to get a new one free of charge because it was under warranty.  They did this by checking the serial number.  After I came home, I realized they gave me a 16 gb instead of a 32 gb, like I had ordered off eBay. Is the serial number specific to the amount of gb's on the device or did the Apple store just mess up?

    If in fact it was a 16GB iPad, you can file a complaint with eBay and the seller will probably have to give you a partial refund.
