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.
Cheers,

    not able to activate imessage after the ios7 update?

    This is what worked:
    1) Backing up the iPhone to iCloud
    2) Resetting the iPhone completely
    3) Restoring from iCloud
    This helped resolve iMessage and Facetime issues.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Hi, I want to iMessage an American phone number from the uk, how do I do this?

    Hi, I want to iMessage an American phone number from the uk, how do I do this?

    make sure you have the phone number entered in international format in your contacts.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Then enter the US number as +1 (area code, if it has one) (phone number).
    With dial assist on the + gives you the dial out code to make an international call, 1 is the country code for USA,for a mobile number it will not have an area code but if it has a leading zero leave it out, then the phone number without any leading zero

  • Why do my texts come from my icloud after the ios7 update?

    why do my texts come from icloud.com after the ios7 update?

    Basically, your iMessage settings have become slightly off due to the update.
    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send/Receive.
    You should see your phone number and your email address. Given your description, I would imagine that only your Email Address is checked. If you CAN (it's probably greyed out), check your phone number off, and it should work.
    Now, operating under the assumption that you can't just turn the phone number back on:
    1.) Go into Settings -> Messages, and turn iMessage off.
    2.) Go into Settings -> iTunes and Appstore, and tap on your Apple ID at the top, and tap 'Sign Out'
    3.) Power your phone off completely (Press and hold the sleep/wake key, then swipe to power off).
    4.) Power your phone back on.
    5.) Go back to Settings -> iTunes and Appstore, and sign back into your Apple ID.
    6.) Go back to Settings -> Messages, and turn iMessage back to ON. Wait for iMessage service to activate.
    7.) Go into Send/Receive again, and verify that your phone number is now checked off.
    8.) Send a text message to a friend with an iPhone to verify that the issue is resolved.
    NOTE: If you do not know your Apple ID/Password, reset it at http://iforgot.apple.com.

  • I am unable to turn on location services after the iOS7 update on my iPhone 5

    Relatively self explanatory. When I go into Privacy settings I am unable to turn Location Servies on. The option appears, but I cannot slide the switch to 'on'. This has only happened after the ios7 update.

    Hi dombew,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To address this issue, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Also, check to make sure Location Services has not be restricted:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

    You can prevent changes to privacy settings, including:

  • 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?

  • Email is showing in iMessages instead of phobe number after iOS 8 update

    For some reason it only does with certain people. It shows my email instead of the my number on their phones. I re-activated iMessage, turned off phone and deleted conversations and it still does It.

    delete convo then go to settings, general, reset, reset all settings. this causes the phone to reset and finishes installing certain iOS 8 features pertaining to email and iMessage and will fix any glitches you're having. it has worked for myself and everyone else I have shared it with.

  • HT201263 I have never used a passcode (four numbers) to start my IPAD2 but after the IOS7 update, it wants a passcode. I cannot get past the opening screen which demands a passcode therefore I am unable to access settings or passcode locks or even self de

    I am unable to access settings or passcode locks or even self destruct which is looking quite appealing.
    IOS7 update leaves my Ipad2 asking for a passcode which I have never used.
    Aaarrgghh

    I was hoping that some bigwig who decided to throw this update into the mix might have figured out what happened.
    I started at 0000 , 1234, 3333 ,9999 nothing except this Ipad is disabled.
    ............ a bit like IOS7!

  • How do I disable imessage to a phone number without the phone?

    I switched from my iphone 4 to the galaxy note 3. I love the phone but whenever iphone users text me it is still sending in imessage. This is obviously an issue because a lot of my friends have an iphone still. I have went into my account and disabled all devices on the icloud. I have also turned off imessage on my ipad and my parents imac. When I switched my phones at the store they bought my iphone, so I do not have the option to turn it off on that. I need a solution to where imessages only get sent to my email or just as SMS. I thought that when I switched I would have become unrecognizeable in imessaging, but obviously I thought wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Clyde. I called that number but they told me to go to icloud.com and delete the number while looking at it under Find My iPhone. It didn't change anything. Other iphone users can still send me imessages. Is there a way I can delete my whole account and basically unregister my information from the system?
