Imessage - change registered phone number

How do u change the registered phone number on iMessage on iPhone? It still shows old number even after a reset and the number is grayed out.

There are no registered phone numbers in iMessage on the iPad. I'll assume you must be talking about iPhone. So, try this (on iPhone):
Go to Settings > Phone > My Number and make sure it's your correct phone number. Then, Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off. Turn iPhone off (hold sleep/wake button until the red slider appears on screen, then slide it). Turn iPhone on. Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage back on.
Did that help?

  • Imessage changed my phone number after the ios7 update

    after the ios7 update imessaging has changed my number to some weird 7 digit number with a +1 (1) infront of it. if someone txts my actual phone number the message wont deliver.. i have reset everything on the phone multiple times and have did alot of troubleshooting for this and nothing seems to work. i went to the apple store and they said to call the techs.. i did that before i even went to the store and they couldnt do anything for me. if anybody has any ideas on how to fix this please help! thank you

    Hi mdfrommo,
    You can't change it back by going to Settings>Phone, and then by clicking on your number at the top? It should take you to a screen that will allow you to delete what is there and type your own number in.

So every time someone's facetimeing him or imessageing him I get them on my iPad anyone know how I can change this ? Thanks

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • How do you change the original registered phone number on the 3GS?

    I am using a new sim in the 3Gs but the registered phone number on the device details remains the same so when you use imessaging it displays the old phone number.  How do I change this?

    Usually phone picks up this information automatically from the SIM.
    You can change it from SETTINGS - PHONE - MY NUMBER

  • I currently have Imessage turned off on my phone since there is no blocking feature on the Iphone 4.  If I change my phone number and turn on Imessage, how do I make sure I won't get Messages from person I have blocked?

    I have the Iphone 4 but before this I had a different phone and had blocked someone from contacting me via calls/texts.  Unbeknownst to me, when I got the Iphone 4, that I cannot block Imessages.   I have turned off Imessage for the time being but I'm seriously considering changing my phone number.  If I change the number with my carrier and turn Imessage back on,  what do I have to do to ensure that any previous messages don't come through and any future messages cannot be sent?

  • 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 change the phone number for imessages?
    i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

    Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
    My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

  • How do i change the phone number in imessage

    Anyone know how to change the phone number associated with imessage...This is an ipod touch so there is no sim card.

    The iPod (and iPad) only have a phone number if the same Apple ID is used for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive is also used for an iPhone. Thus you need to get another phone number for the phone.

  • How do you change the phone number in imessages?

    my wife and I share an account and her phone number shows up on my new ipad and am wondering how I change the phone number to reflect my phone number?

    I use one Apple ID and can use Messages and FaceTime on four different devices by assigning different email addresses to 3 of the devices. As long as both phone numbers are associated with the one Apple ID, it should be possible to do what you want to do. You may have to turn off and sign out of messages on all devices so that you can get the phone number to appear in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at.
    This should be helpful. Take a look.

    How do you change the phone number on an ipad mini in the imessage settings?

    The Phone number of a Cellular iPad is assigned by the carrier the iPad is connected to.  Usually changing the sim card will change this number.
