    Sign out of iMessage on your iPad. Sign out on your iPhone. Sign back in on your iPhone. Once it's completely signed back in, sign back in on your iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

    Hi all
    I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
    I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
    receive it until i am back on wifi.
    What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
    My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
    On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
    One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    thanks, Andy

    Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
    You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

  • How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad

    How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
    I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.

  • How do you change the phone number in imessages?

    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.

    Hi,
    In the first Instance Messages allows you to Call from the Contacts list.
    On the second hand iCloud will sync your Contacts to the iPhone.
    If your My Card in the Contacts (Head and Shoulders iCon) then you  will not be calling your own iPhone or it will not be listed as the phone number in the iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 update changes.

  • How do you disassociate a phone number from iMessage without disabling iMessage completely

    Hi there. I will soon be selling my current iPhone for another phone and want to remove the association between the phone number and iMessage so my girlfriend will send SMS messages to my phone from her iPhone instead of iMessages. Is it as simple as turning iMessage off in iCloud settings or does it go a bit deeper than that? I have seen a few stories on the forums of iMessages still being sent to sold or broken phones and don't want this to happen to mine.
    Cheers in advance.

    All you need to do is turn iMessage off in settings.  Also be sure to turn FaceTime off and delete your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud.    (Note: deleting the iCloud account only deletes it from the phone, not from iCloud.)
    Be sure to create a new backup before selling it.  To be save, create a backup both in iCloud and on your computer using iTunes (by clicking on Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings).  Then erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, or restore it as a new iPhone.

  • Moving home - how can I leave my phone number with...

    Hi all,
    I've searched but not found an answer to this one. I want to:
    1) Move my phone line to a new property 
    2) Set up a new account for the current property (for someone still living there)
    3) Move my current phone number, to the new account, on the current property.
    To be clear - I don't want to move my phone number to my new property. I want to move my phone number to a new account - held by someone else - on the existing property.
    My question: what is the best way of arranging this? Can BT provide account management for a complex move?
    Read on for gory details of how we find ourselves in this mess.
    A short history - how I lost my partner's father's phone number
    A few months ago, my partner and I moved in with my partner's father (hereafter: PF) while we prepared to buy a new property. At this point we had no property to move our still-in-contract BT package to.
    BT told us that to prevent a large charge for the remainder of our minimum term period, we should move the account to PF's house, but keep 'putting off' the installation until we had a new address to have the service re-instated.
    When it came close to the original installation date (you can specify a maximum of a couple months from move date), I asked BT to 'put off' the installation by a few weeks. They obliged. 
    What BT didn't mention was that the current account holder (PF) would automatically have their line/number disconnected, and account closed, on the orginal installation day. My 'putting off' of my installation day had no effect on the disconnection, thus PF was left without a working phone. Worse, the phone number (held for ~20 years) was lost.
    After much wrangling with BT, we managed to get my line installation expedited, and PF's phone number attached to my line.
    The current state: PF has no BT account. I have the same BT account I've always had, but with PF's phone number.
    My partner and I will move out ASAP. PF wants to have his own BT account, and his own phone number. If necessary, I can close my BT account.
    Thanks for reading!
    My life is in your hands lovely BTCare people (you should meet PF...)

  • How to merge phone number with imessage on 10.8.2

    i updated to 10.8.2 and i had already been using imessage on 10.8.1 and before. i went to imessage and there is no option or alert or anything to add my phone number to it. i use the same apple id on my iphone and receive imessages at both my apple id email address and phone number. i have tried signing out, deleting all my messages, ive tried signing out restarting my macbook pro and signing back in, still nothing. any way to manually set it up or refresh the account?

    Message was edited by: vikgrover87

    Well, try as I might, and despite the publicity and hype around this and 'It just works' for me it just doesn't.  I updated the phone and ipad to IOS 6, MacBook to 10.8.2 and no matter what I do, how many log ins and outs the ipad and the Macbook ONLY give me the option to use one of two email addresses.  No phone number option is anywhere to be seen.  I did rather expect that I would just actvate imessage on the iphone and then do so on the ipad and macbook, merely having to select the number as the methof of contact, or even having it there as the default.  Too much to ask I suppose!! I find I spend far more time trying to get Apple innovation to work than I ever did with Windows to be honest!  I also tried entering the phone number many times and go many 'verification sent' only to receive squat.
    Sick and tired of trying to fathom this now so I gues I'll just leave it off rather than find myself back in the days of imessage confusion where some would go to a phone, some to an email, messages only being visible on certain devices depending on where they were sent - all the things that made imessage a complete PITA and far more trouble than it was worth.
    I hoped that maybe this would fix those problems.  Maybe it will, when I can invest the time in digging around the internet trying to get it to 'just work'!
