  • How to change phone number in Imessage and "waiting for Activation"

    i use my iphone5 - factory unlocked  between two countries with two different sim card. When i am in the USA i can use both my both number and email address to send imessage.
    I notice when i am in jamaica i can use only my email address to send imessage.
    I tried just about everything i see in these forum.
    I signed out of my apple ID and started to reactive my imessage. I notice when i am setting up it displayed my local phone number and email address as method person can contact via imessage. however aster clicking ok, i noticed it is still displaying my att phone number. the phone number area is grayed out.
    I even update the local number to my apple id.
    added the local number also to my contact in the phone.
    I tried everything possible
    also it s saying "waiting for activation" some time now.

    Hello Spum,
    It sounds like you are not able to activate your phone number for iMessage usage when you are in Jamaica.  I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)" in the following article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    How to change phone that provides number for iPad FaceTime

    The iPad is not a phone. Facetime and iMessage are only compatible with iOS devices. To add a phone number, you must do so from an iPhone.

    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'!

  • 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 to change Phone Number used for activation

    Hi,
    just got myself an iPhone and when I activated it via iTunes, it took over my phone number I entered
    in my Mac account (which was my home phone number).
    This number shows now up on iTunes (when the iPhone is highlighted) as "My Number".
    I changed my number in my Mac account profile to the cellular phone number which I use, synched again (even restored the iPhone) but the old number is still shown.
    Is there any possibility to change this entry after activation of the iPhone?
    Thanks for all additional info on this (still an iPhone n00b I am)
    Cheers,
    S.

    You are right,
    it doesn't change anything on the functions itself, it's just hum, let's say "Not good looking:
    I thought that maybe there is an easy way of changing this, but it seems not...
    Anyway, if someone has an idea (maybe I have to call the local Apple Support in France on Monday for asking them though) I would be pleased if you share it with me.
    Cheers,
    S.

    I used to click facetime and choose my friend's mobile phone number. Now it just dials a number it found in the contact's list, even though i changed it.
