How to change phone number on facetime and imessage ?

My brother has an iPhone I've got an iPod 5 he used to use the same apple id as i do but now he has his own but his phone number keeps appearing as my phone number on FaceTime an on iMessage.
How can I change that? It drives me crazy

A phone number appears for Messages and FT on an iPod (and iPad) onoy if the some ID used for those services is also used on an iPhone. It use the iPhone's number.

  • HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID  on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

  • How do I change my number in Facetime and iMessage???

    Hey everyone!
    I'm having bigtime problems with my facetime and iMessage..
    First of all, I got my iPhone 4s unlocked through AT&T, but now I'm stuck with my old AT&T number..
    It's my old number, under the "caller ID" in facetime and in iMessage, and it won't allow me to change it...
    So now I can't recieve any facetime calls and any imessages.... :-(
    Please help me!

    I found this under another thread and it works.
    Do the following to correct this:
    1) Switch of Wi-FI and make sure you get 3G receptiion
    2) Switch off Facetime and for few seconds
    3) Go to phone under settings and you should have the correct number
    3a) switch off iPhone and turn it back ON
    4) Switch facetime back on by entering your iTunes credentials
    Hope this helped some of you

  • Updating Phone Number for FaceTime and iMessage

    My husband and I both have iPhones, iPads, and I just got a new MacBook Pro. We also share an apple ID. But for some reason I can't seem to get Facetime or iMessage to use my phone number... only my husbands. How do I make the contact number MY number? I already changed it on my Apple ID, but when I open FaceTime, it still only gives me the option to add my husband's number.

    You can add an email address only with FaceTime and iMessage with an iPad and with any Mac or other iOS device besides the iPhone.
    iMessage can be exchanged with any iOS compatible device and with a Mac running OS X 10.7 with the Messages Beta app.

  • How to change phone number in facetime

    i have a new number and i cannot edit the phone number to enter the new one
    any ideas on how i can get this done?????

    You need to activate Facetime on your iPhone with your new number first. If you use the same Apple ID on all your devices, your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will automatically ask you if you want to use your new number for Facetime.

    If you followed the instructions in the support article exactly (leaving the machine off for two minutes), then it has a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store or other authorized service provider for repair.

  • 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:

  • How to change phone number for a facetime contact

    ; the number i used to call (mobile) isn't chosen and i can't dial it in facetime
    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.

    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.
