IMessage not selecting my phone number, its "greyed" out.

I have an iPhone 4S and it was on a monthly 02 contract but I have not terminated my contract with O2.  I had my iPhone unlocked so I could use it on any network.  I now have a Vodafone sim card in the phone and am on PAYG.  However my iMessage is not working properly.  When I try to active my iMessage my phone number is "greyed" out so I cannot send messages via my mobile number ...so can only send text messages.  I did use the Vodafone sim card in my iPhone whilst my number was being ported across so it did have a temporary number.  However, now my original number has been ported across I can no longer select it under iMessage as it is "greyed" out. 
How do I resolve this?

Still Problem... I delete my account ID from My daughter's phone and used her iCloud email account and both of us still have same massage "waiting for activation for Message and face Time setting. Still I can see my daughter's phone number in my phone "you can be reached by face time at" and I can able to check it as well as my e-mail address but my phone number is greyed out... Ok just want to verified I can't able to face time using my phone number anymore? I don't have any option to delete my daughter's number or my e-mail address only I can add e-mail's.... I tried trouble shootings step by step but still stack in same way...` any suggestion ?

    Hi Chas869,
    Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

  • Cant stop imessage sending from email phone no is greyed out in message/settings/send

    Hi,
    I message is sending messages from my email address. I have tried going in to settings/messages/send and receive which is currently defaulted to my email but my phone number is greyed out and cannot be selected.
    How do I sort this?

    Hello LouLouN,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are not able to configure your iMessage settings to include your phone number, due to it being greyed out. This issue can usually be resolved by simply turning iMessage off, restarting your iPhone, and then turning iMessage back on.

    Where is the phone number on the iPod?
    If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
    If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
    For some info see:

    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

    Hi,
    I have tried all of the tips and tricks for getting my imessage to send from my phone number, not my email but I am not having any luck.
    The option in the message settings has my phone number greyed out and my apple ID has my phone number stored. I am not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate the help.
    All imessages sent to me do not get to my phone because it seems to be disabled.

  • TS1559 why my phone sometimes its greyed out, sometimes it doesn't recognize any network, sometimes it connects but it drops in 10 minutes?

    Please help me..

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

  • Why does iphoto not accept my phone number when filling out shipping info for buying cards??

    Im trying to generate some thank you cards in iphoto 11 and when paying for them, it wont accept my telephone number in the Primary number box, which is in the delivery contact bit in the shipping information box. The telephone number keeps going red and i cant get any further with ordering the thank you cards. I have been to Itunes to check my billing and payment information and im using the same telephone number so i cant see why it wnt do it?? Please help as these thank you cards are from my kids to grandparents and other family members and my wife is getting irate at me, because i havent done what should be a simple thing!!!!!
    Many thanks if you can help.

    Try going to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and re-entering it in your account there and be sure that one click ordering is turned on and try again
    Also I'v eseen reports that number of digits can cause this if you are in an area that uses a different number of digits - I believe that someone reported that they had to move one digit to another field to get it to work - you might search the fourms for that post

  • HT204053 You can be reached by iMessage is showing wrong phone number

    My iMessage phone number is wrong on my phone

    Hi,
    You have posted in Mavericks (the previous Mac OS X) forum whilst only listing iOS items.
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages > Send and Receive the phone number is greyed out.
    It should be ticked.
    However I have had two occasions when the tick disappeared.
    The remedy is to removes the Apple ID option
    Set the phone to Airplane Mode to break with the Servers. (for a few mins)
    On going back to the settings wait until the iPhone Number is verified.
    Test an iMessages by sending it to the Apple ID.
    If this works add back the Apple ID.
    Any Mac that you have using iMessages in that version of Messages will get a pop up about the details the iPhone is using.
    Accept this again.
