How to remove a number on iMessage?

I recently bought myself a new iPhone 6 on contract from EE here in the UK, this was an upgrade from my iPhone 4s on o2.
I set up my new iPhone 6 using my current apple id, using the sim card and mobile number EE supplied me with when buying the phone. Soon after this I got my PAC code from o2 to transfer my phone number I used on the iPhone 4S to my new phone. By doing this it has deactivated the number I was provided with by EE.
Since this has happened my iMessage is playing up... text messages, although sent from iPhone 6 with my old number, still come up under the temporary number i used on EE. I have tried going onto the iMessage settings and removing this number but it just appears to be greyed out. Any ideas on what I need to do?
I've tried using the apple deregister page but It sends a code to the number i want to deregister which is the EE number which is no longer active or I have access to therefore it will not work?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Matt

Couple of options:
See if EE can temporarily re activate the old number so that you can complete the de register process
Contact Apple via chat and see if they can help
Please let us know what happens
All the best!

  • Can't remove my number from iMessage on my IPad .

    Can't remove my number from iMessage on my IPad .
    Just bought a new phone with data package , as soon as I turned it on, my iPad asked me to link the iPhone 5 number to my iPad iMessage , I said yes, and that was the mistake, both iPad and iPhone getting messages when I send it to either.
    I tried to switch in between all the other emails registered on my iMessage , but no luck.
    Any One have an idea how to remove the number from iPad?

    When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID. If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow this article.
    When another iOS device enables iMessage with your Apple ID, you will receive an alert:
    Email Address Added to "[device name]"
    "[device name]" is now using "[Apple ID]" for iMessage.
    To remove phone number for iPad or iPod:
    On the iPhone and iPad sign out Messages. Then sign into the iPad. Then sign into the iphone

  • Will iPad receive sms? And how I remove my number so person using my ipad won't see imessages?

    Someone else is using my iPad. How can I remove it that my iMessages do not get received by them without having the iPad? And another curious question. Can the person with the iPad see the text messages I am doing? SMS?
    Thank you.

    An iPad can neither receive or send an SMS since that technology is part of voice cellular service. There are some third-party apps in the iTunes Store that can send SMS messages (a server run by the app developer bridges between the Internet and a cell service to send the message) but I have no direct experience with them to offer any recommendations.
    As to the other question, if you have iMessage set up on the iPad and you use that Apple ID to send and receive, then yes, that person will see all your messages.  If you don't want them to see your messages, you'll need to set up a different Apple ID to use with iMessages.
    Regards.

  • How to deactivate my number off imessage

    I need help deactivating my number off imessage

    Hey apriljacqueey18_,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides information about deactivating your phone number from iMessage:
    iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
    Resolution
    If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number might still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you can't access your iPhone, you no longer have it, or you can't deactivate iMessage after you try the above steps, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • 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:

  • HT4528 How do I remove my number from Imessages

    I am having trouble doing what I think should be an easy thing. I have Me, wife (separated) my son, my nephew and my cousins on my itunes account on a share network. I am the primary user and have been disgusted by what I have noticed is going on. Because I am the primary "Imessage" has been sending all my texts to all family that has my number on my account and I can not change it.
    This is so dishearting that I can not stand it. My family has had access to all my stuff. REALLY. And before anyone says something dumb that I don't want to hear or can not do let me give you my reasons:
    1. I can not start another Itunes, because no matter what, my sons and family will always be allowed to have what i have, but they are with their mother. So I can not start another Itunes and lose the $1000s of money i have spent during our 15 years of marriage.
    2. I am not going to delete access because that would hurt all my family that I dont want to hurt.
    3. I know you can turn off "Imessage" but all that does is not send my text and text that other people send that have "Imessage" on goes to all the devices that have the number on the imessage. Which defeats the purpose of this TURNING OFF.
    4. I can not delete the number. Change it or Pass protect something that is private.
    I buy games for my neice, nephew, apps and movies for my sons and it ***** that I have to have my privacy a open book to all to see. What a fricking joke. How is this possible.
    I need someone to help me. Quick, before i lose my mind. "Imessage" should not be made for all those to see my private texts.
    I WILL NOT START OVER IN ITUNES, I WILL NOT REMOVE MY FAMILY MEMBERS FROM ITUNES, ALL I WANT IS MY STUFF TO BE PRIVATE AND MOVIES, APPS, GAMES, MUSIC TO BE ACCESSIBLE NOT REALLY A HARD REQUEST AND I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE.

    Hi ndnman,
    You can still keep you AppleID for iTunes and set up a totally separate one for iCloud and iMessage, you know.....
    You just need a different email address than the one you use for your iTunes AppleID. I've attached a little support article that may help:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
    The section about using a different AppleID for iCloud than for Store Purchases is probably the one that will help most!
    Good luck!

  • How do I remove phone number from iMessage on one device only

    Hi there, I recently upgraded my iphone 4 for an iphone 6 and we decide to let my niece have the old iphone 4 with our account set up so that she can have the apps that we have as well.  Now, I am able to deactivate iMessage but I don't want her to "accidentally" turn it on and I noticed that if she were to do it she could select my phone number and start receiving iMessages addressed to my phone number.  Is there a way to completely delete/remove my phone number only from that iphone?  Thanks for the help

    Hey there Eminent Czar,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below will walk you through the process of unlinking the phone number from your Apple ID on the iPhone 4, so that it doesn’t receive iMessages that were intended for your new iPhone 6.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Cheers,
    -Jason
