Turn off iMessage, Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home button, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons), turn iMessage back on and see if it now shows your number.
If you are using a non-supported cell provider you will have to try other remedies.

  • How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

    I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
    I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
    I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
    Thanks so much

    The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

  • TS2795 When I set CALL FWDING  "ON" and I set the phone number and I back to CALL FWDING, the option returns to "OFF" status, why this is happening ?

    Hello,
    Can someone help me to activate the Call Forwarding option on IPhone 5, OS 6.01 ??
    Currently I am trying:
    * Settings -> Phone -> Call Forwarding -> "ON" -> SET THE PHONE NUMBER ->"Call Forwarding button"
    But when the screen returns to Call forwarding, the option returns to "OFF" mode.
    * I already try to call to *72 to "activate" the call forwarding option, just didn't work.
    I don't know if I need to do an additional configuration, If someone has an idea, please let me know!!
    Regards
    Cami

    Who is your carrier? Not all carriers support enabling and disabling call forwarding using the controls in Settings.

    2-Go to Settig - Switch off the iMessage
    3-Go to Setting - General Settings- Reset Network Settings
    4 - Go to Setting Switch on FaceTime - Sign in with your existing Apple / iCloud ID
    You can see the Mobile number is changed now.

  • How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

    how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

    You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not.  If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
    You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

    How can I set the maximum number of restarts for my PDF files?
    My software edition is Acrobat X

    In the old days when PDFs were only opened on desktops and only in Acrobat or Reader, scripting could fake security features and people were generally convinced. As there are so many ways to open a PDF without scripts ever being run (from mobile devices to in-browser display, or simply opening the file in Illustrator), none of that works anymore.

  • How do I change the phone number on imessage?

    I just updated to ios 6 and the update for mountain lion. What i cant seem to do is change the phone number on imessage from my wifes to mine on my personal mac pro. How do i do that?

    Hi,
    In the first Instance Messages allows you to Call from the Contacts list.
    On the second hand iCloud will sync your Contacts to the iPhone.
    If your My Card in the Contacts (Head and Shoulders iCon) then you  will not be calling your own iPhone or it will not be listed as the phone number in the iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 update changes.

  • How do i correct the phone number in iMessage on iPad air

    how do i correct the phone number in iMessage on iPad air

    Sign out of iMessage on your iPad. Sign out on your iPhone. Sign back in on your iPhone. Once it's completely signed back in, sign back in on your iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • ICloud keychain: can't set up phone number

    When setting up my keychain protection code i've chosen "generate random code", finished all steps and now option for setting up phone number in iCloud Keychain settings isn't available (not visible in iOS and disabled on Mac). If i change protection code any other ways (4-digit number or custom) then i can set up phone number.
    So why is that happening - why i can't set up validation phone number when i use random-generated security code?

    Turn off iMessage, Reset your iPhone (hold down the sleep and home button, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons), turn iMessage back on and see if it now shows your number.
    If you are using a non-supported cell provider you will have to try other remedies.

  • How can i change the phone number on my ipod to a different number

    how can i change my phone number on my ipod to a different number than my i phone

    Only by getting a different iPhone and using your Apple ID for Messages/FaceTime on your iPod. The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number for Messages and FaceTimeT if the Apple ID used for those services on the iPad is also used on a Phone witrh iOS 6 or later.

  • How can i update the phone number associated with my iMessage and FaceTime on my macbook air?

    I recently moved to the US from Canada and have a new US #.  I have updated the phone number on my apple ID but the iMessage and FaceTime on my macbook air are still connected to my old Canadian phone number.  How can I update this?  Thanks so much!

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test.
