HT204380 changing face time phone number

How do I change my Face Time phone number?

Hi stagehand74,
The information below explains how Facetime works with your iPhone telephone number, and how to change the Facetime settings:
iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
With iOS 6, your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices with iOS 6 and on Macs with OS X v10.8.2 or later.
In FaceTime, choose FaceTime > Preferences. Your contact preferences should display under "You can be reached for calls at:".
How to unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone. Sign out in the following locations:
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.
Hope this information helps ...
- Judy

    How do I change my cell phone number on my iCloud account with my iPad? I have a new number and want to activate the iCloud

    If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone.  If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.

  • HT204053 My daughters phone number is listed with my FaceTime and messages. How do I change to my phone number?

    I have a new IPad mini and it is linked to my daughters phone number. How do I change to my phone number?

    Use a different Apple ID for iMessage (and FaceTime).  You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes purchasing but you should have separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  To change the ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

    On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

    You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • Change my messaging phone number

    How can I change my messaging phone number on my I pod touch 5 th generation

    The iPod only has a phone number for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive if the the Apple ID used their is also used on an iPhone. Thus, the only way to get another phone number on the iPad is to get another iPhone/change the phone number on the existing iPhne) and use the same ID on that and then log out of Messages and log back in.

    How can I change keychain linked phone number because I cannot access account

    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

  • Changed who a phone number was assigned to in contacts-Treo 750

    I changed who was assigned to a specific phone number in my contact list. But whenever that phone number calls my phone the caller ID still comes up as the previous person. But in the call history list it reflects the new person. I have tried resetting my phone, syncing my phone, clearing my call history. Why does it do this and how can I get the caller ID to show the correct person?
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    I deleted it from the old contact person and made a new contact with that phone number. I finally got it to work though right after I posted my original message. I deleted the call history from the other phone and then reset my phone again, for the 3rd time and it finally came up correctly. I don't know why it was doing that though.
