How to register number with iMessage

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response. The sim card I have in the iPad is a standard "pay n go" sim card with a "data bolt on". If the sim card is placed into any phone, the sim card works as expected to make and receive calls etc.
I get what you mean about the iPad as I was a little disappointed by the lack of calling and/or messaging. Especially when their main competitors allow the use of SMS etc.
The issue I have is that iMessage, for some reason, shows the messages as being sent from the recieving mail address. So a iMessage being sent to [email protected] shows up on a.persons iPad as being sent from themselves. Although both iPads are linked to the same iTunes account, the address are different to the address used to set up iTunes. Hence the question regarding the sim cards number.
Still, no worries and thank you all the same for replying :)
With Thanks,
Dave G

How do I register my iPhone telephone number with iMessage

when i send an iMessager to my fellow iMessage iPhone users, it uses my email address and not my phone number. So when my friends receive an iMessage from me, my message comes up under my email and not my phone number.
I've went into Settings, then Messages, and on this it states 'Receive At [my email address]' whereas my freinds setting have both their phone numbers listed and their email address.
Anyone know how to also register my phone number with iMessage?
My number is saved in my apple / iCloud account, byt my Apple ID is my email address?
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!!

I totally had the same problem as you two until about 3 minutes ago.
So what I did was:
1. Go to Settings > Messages, and turn iMessage to "off"
2. Switch your phone off and then back on
3. Switch iMessage back on, at this point my phone started to verify my phone number, and then it appeared along with Caller ID etc.
Hope this solves your problem too.

How to register contacts on imessage

I'm a owner of a 3rd gen iTouch, New iPad (3rd gen) and I got my wife for Christmas the 4th gen iTouch (5.1.1) It was a huge headache just to get a Apple ID for that. I inadvertantly managed to get my wife a iM Apple ID for icloud but got her a Apple ID for iTunes etc. (after a lot of work)
A colleague I lost contact with managed to set me up with Face time and iM on my iPad. I had to set my wife up with a email on my other computer. After a lot of work I managed to get her a Apple ID and it works fine but not with iM.
Question how do I get the Apple ID that does work within the apps store/iTunes, to work with iM. I've tried everything in the above but nothing seems to work. I get in Settings>Messeges: iMessage On, Send Read Receipt, On, Receive At: @icloud and I cant remember what the PW is for the iCloud one is.
Oh I have 2 options: Remove this Email or resend validation Email and when I try to resend I get a dialogue box that pops up that reads iMessage Activation and it reads Unable to verify email (the Apple ID used in iTunes etc) because it is already in use.
Also, I have an iOS upgrade pending but I'm affraid to activate it because we don't want to lose the YouTube that came with this license.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

How do you register your mobile number with imessaging?

When I want to send something to my phone from my ipod.. it won't regiser my mobile number? Why? Like I've tried, and it will only allow my e-mail to go threw.

Turn off iMessage then turn it back on.
You do have an iPhone and you are in the wrong place?
If not, you can't send from your mobile number on your Touch.

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?
update: i guess everyone says i need to update my iphone to ios6 first. i'm just going to wait for my iphone5 on friday to set this up as im not yet going to update to ios6 on my 4S

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'!
