I accidentally removed my phone number from my iphone as a facetime contact for me. now my facetime won't work at all. Any ideas?

I accidently unchecked my phone number as being a contact point for FaceTime on my iphone 4s. Now it just says that it is waiting for activation....
Facetime worked yesterday, but not today, after I synced my new phone with itunes on my computer....
Any ideas?
Thank you!

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

HT3529 My friend switched his phone number from an iPhone to a Blackberry. My phone still wants to use iMessage to send him a text and won't let me send it as a text unless I turn off iMessage on my phone. Is there a fix for this?

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

I currently have an old work phone that is synced to my iPad. I would like to delete the old work phone number from my iCloud without having to contact my previous employer. Is there a way to do this and replace it with my personal iPhone?

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

How do you add a phone number from recent history to an exisiting contact?

Hi all,
I just upgraded to a Razr M from a Droid X. When I'd get a call or make one to a new number that, for whatever reason, was not in my contacts, it was a simple matter to add. This seems to have the same buttons to add to an existing contact, but it simply refused to do so.
Let me explain with an example. I had transferred via syncing the backup assistant, my contacts. However, the very first number I went to dial was not in my list at all, which was strange because he was not only in my list but on on favorites and on one of my home screens (so you'd think he'd transfer over). Regardless, after I dialed his number by looking him up off the old phone, I hung up and went to add him. He still wasn't showing in my list. So I went to the Facebook app, thinking maybe he'd pull over that way. Sure it enough it found him but no phone number (no big surprise but some people allow a number to be shown for friends). So now that I have his FB account, I went back to recent calls, pressed and held, and then selected add to existing. I found him in the list, pressed that contact, and hit save. But it refused to link the phone number to his contact info. No matter how many times I re-tried this and hit save (and looked for other buttons to press to no avail), I could not add him.
I assume that if it will crew up for him, it will screw up for others.
Please help. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I link a phone number I've dialed (or received) to one of my existing contacts?? Is there some step I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't worry Mark_and_Karla, you are not really doing the wrong steps, it just needs a few tweeks. What most likely is happening is that some of your contacts may have been synced with your gmail account set up on your old and new phone. This means that it would not show up in your backup assistant listing but rather your google contacts. If you go into your people app and then select the menu button (three vertical square boxes bottom right) you will select Contacts to display. You should see an option for your gmail account contacts. If you see the contact in their then that means it is saved under that form.
Now you can choose to customize to show both your backup assistant contacts and gmail contacts while in the contacts to display screen. Now in regards to not being able to sync the number to the FB contact listing, it is not an option. All the contacts listed under FB contacts are non editable because they only show you information linked to their FB and that information can only be edited by that user. Now if you create a contact with the same name, the FB app should integrate the two into one contact eventually once it does an update. This is only if you chose to sync contacts with FB when you set up the FB app on your phone. You can delete and redownload the FB app to get this option again. Overall if you follow these steps, you should be able to find and or sync that and other contacts on your phone.

How can I remove my old phone number from my iPhone?

I want to sell my old iPhone 5 (Sprint), and I want to get everything off of it. Obviously I'd restore it and remove everything first, but how do I get the 'My number' to change from my current phone number (which was ported to T Mobile and is with a newer phone now) to something else/removed? I remember I had the same problem a few years ago with an android phone, and I kept getting texts from my number on it (both phones at the same time), I obviously don't want something like this to happen again, especially if I sell it.
Thanks in advance

How do you delete a phone number from an iphone that is listed under other and not in the contacts list?

When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.

Did you manage to resolve this issue?
I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text.

Did you know that a phone number from a webpage loads to your contacts?

Very cool - I was looking up the phone number of a restaurant on its web page using my iPhone; the phone displays all telephone numbers as blue links - touch it and the phone dials. But, this I didn't know, the phone also names the number and puts it in your contacts list! No $1.50 calls to 411; no reason to write down or enter the info yourself, it's there! And if you don't want it for some reason, just delete the contact. Who would want that "ZUNE" thing when Apple's products anticipate what you want to do? I love my iPhone!

Interesting - it somewhat works for me.
I have used Safari Google (m) to find a business, clicked on the found link and iPhone took me to the Maps application, tapped the info bubble in the map, and it formatted the new contact for me, Name, phone, address, webpage etc - and gives me the choice to create a new contact or add to existing contact. I've used this feature a few times in the wild, but never noticed the contact being created automatically without a confirmation.
First time it happened I whooped out loud (on the street) - okay, I'm a geek.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.
