I need to add a phone number to iMessage, how do I do this and link it with my account.
I can not link a phone number to iMessage, when I send a message people see an email address and not phone number. How do I change this?
Hi bamba,
Open Messages on your Mac, click on Preferences>Accounts. At the bottom you will see "Start New Messages From" - click on your iPhone number from the dropdown.
Cheers,

My youngest erased all content and settings on my iphone 4s (prepaid) and now it says it is not activated.I still have my account and number,but it says phone number unknown now.How do i fix this?.
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0. -
How do I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad
How do I add my phone number for my iPhone to my iPad for iMessage. On the settings on iMessage it only gives the options for an email. I have tried typing my mobile no in there but it doesn't accept it and there doesn't seem to be any other way to add it.
I was getting iMessages for my mobile number on my iPad until I recently logged out and then back into my apple ID. Now the mobile number has disappeared on my iPad for both FaceTime and iMessage.Use a free email address like gmail.com.

Add a phone number to iMessage with an iPod touch?
Hello everyone! I recently bought my iPod touch 5th generation, and I'm loving it. However, I was wondering if I could add a phone number too instead of only an email? I don't see that option anywhere except to add another email. Since lots of people ha e my phone number too, I was hoping I could a phone number as well. Thanks all!! :)
Sharvin2012,
The only way that people could "call" you through a system app on an iPod touch is through FaceTime. In FaceTime, people contact you by "calling" an email address that you can control in the settings.
Some apps from the App Store might have the ability to call other iOS devices over Wi-Fi.
Adding a phone number in the Contacts app is no problem, if that's what you mean. When editing a contact, it's one of the first few fields.

i want to use my phone whilest away traveling. do i need to get my phone unlocked, if so how do i?
You can either use your carrier's international roaming plan, or if you have an unlocked phone, you can use local SIM cards from any compatible GSM carrier. If your phone is locked, you will need to contact your carrier to inquire as to the requirements and fees to have it unlocked. Not all carriers offer unlocking.

I need to disconnect my phone number from imessage
i just dont need my mac getting my texts. i want imessage and face time disabled on my mac or just my email connected.
Open Messages>Preferences>Click your account> under "you can be reached for messages at:" uncheck what ever service (email, phone number,etc) is no longer desired. Repeat the above with FaceTime.

Cannot add my phone number to imessage
answer pls
On you iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and confirm that your phone number is listed under "You can by reached by iMessage at". (If it's grayed out, that's normal.) Assuming it is, on your iPad, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign back in, ensuring that you are using the same ID you are using for iMessage on your phone. See if it now shows your phone number.

My contacts have been split into individual entries for each part of the contact. There is now an entry for the phone number, each email address, and address of each contact that I have. I have never seen this before and would like to know if there is any way to combine them back into one. Thank you
Hey FionaB90,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your phone number has been unlinked from your Apple ID. To relink your phone number, we'll need to troubleshoot on your iPhone (not the iPad).
The following article provides information about linking your phone number to your Apple ID. Once linked, simply sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on your iPad, then sign back in.

Hi i've had my phone and MacBook Pro connected for ages and recently my iMessage on my computer is now sending messages via my email address - how can i stop this? or rather change it back? i've just done the upgrade to Yosemite
thank you
BNo, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

Ho to add external phone number to Cisco 7911 or extension
We have CCM 8.2 and need to add external phone number from the list to one of extension. I added the phone number to External Phone Number Mask under line configuration on the phone. Additionally I created translation pattern and still no luck. I used the phone that was assigned to some else, I can hear like two busy signal and drop.
I copied settings from another extension configuration that has external number assigned.
Thank You!Thank you I have already figure it out: I agree I did not provide enough info. For external DID redirected to specific extension you use Translation Patterns - right?
But then (its up to the provider) you use last 3 digits of your available from list DID you purchase from that provider - right? Then you specify extension number in the CALLED PARTY TRANSFORM MASK -
make sense? There are other way to do it, but this one works at least for me. I am not an expert but at least after whole day of fighting it worked for me. So please understand people starting journey with call manager. Thank You -
Hello,
I recently was gifted an iPad 3 from my boyfriend to use as I please, since he got a new one. I also recently got an iPhone 5. He had the ipad set up to his phone number, and when I logged his apple ID out of setting>apples&itunes and put mine in, and also went to settings>messages>and added my apple account info, it only gives me a check mark for my email, and not one for my phone number.
When it was logged into his account, he had a checkmar I next to his email and his phone number, so he would receive all his iMessages through his ipad. I don't see anywhere to add a phone number. Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working?
I hope that made sense.

How do I add a phone number to my Ipad air in imessage
how do I add a phone number to IMessage on my iPad ai?
Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.
