    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.

  • How do I change the iMessage phone number on my iPad.

    Hello:
    I've searched and can't find this exact problem in any other thread. How do I change the iMessage phone nubmer on my iPad. It is NOT the same as my iTunes phone number.
    My wife and I share an AppleID. When I updated my iPad to iOS6 her phone number became my iMessage phone number. Now, I get all her iMessages between her and her contacts and not my own. The email is still my iTunes account email.

    If you go to General>Messages>ReceiveAt and then add an additional Apple ID, if you dont have an other Apple ID, you will have to create a new one. Also, if you dont want to receive your current messages, you can remove the number/Apple ID, but only if you have 2 or more Receiving accounts. (including your current) If you dont want to use iMessage at all, just simply switch iMessage from "On" to "Off"
    Hope this helped,

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.

  • IMessage (phone number) not an option in messages accounts

    I can't seem to get Messages on my mac to link to my phone number to send and receive iMessages. I have done it before and it was quite simple but now when I try to add it, there's not even an option in my accounts pane for adding a phone number. I have signed in and out on my phone and computer and searched for an answer or similar problem but haven't seen much. HELP! Below is a screenshot of what my messages/preferences/accounts looks like. I can't figure out where on here to set up my phone number. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks! That sort of helped. I had already look at this and done the iMessage steps but I realized I was signed in to iMessage with the right info but not FaceTime.
    Apple wont let you change your apple ID so I have an icloud email and an apple ID email and it gets confusing. THANKS!

  • Unable to connect imessage phone number

    After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 the iMessage stopped working through my phone number. It only works with email addresses.  I´ve done literally everything except doing a full reset, which by the way I will not engage. To list a few things I´ve done in order to reestablish the full service: 1) Apple ID settings check up (perfect); 2) Network setting reset (check); 3) remove sim card and reset (check); 4) make sure I can send international sms (check); 5) make sure my phone number is exactly as the data in Apple iD (check); 6) Time in my phone (check).  Honestly I tend to think is the iOS that caused this mess.
    Some help, pleaseeee.

    Hi there suarez_otaola,
    It looks like you have tried a few things already, but one thing I'm not seeing on your list is signing out of iMessage and then back in. The process is outlined below. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
     If you aren't receiving iMessages across all iOS devices
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each iOS device and make sure that you signed in with your Apple ID. You must use the same Apple ID on each device.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and make sure that you selected each phone number and email address you want to use with iMessage.
    If you linked a phone number to your Apple ID with iMessage and the phone number hasn't appeared, followthese steps.
    Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and Settings > FaceTime on all devices.
    If you're linking a phone number to an Apple ID, sign in to iMessage on your iPhone first. Then sign in to the rest of your device one by one with iMessage and FaceTime.

  • Restore to new iPad- iMessage phone number is wrong

    I lost my  wifes iPad 1 to the band of grey. Purchased anew iPad 4 for me, restored my iPad 2 with the iPad 1 backup .everything worked except that the phone number is not updated. How do I change the number in iMessage?

    Hey michaelfromgreenwood,
    Thanks for the question. The phone number that appears in iMessage settings is going to depend on an iPhone that is associated with your Apple ID. For more information, see this article:

    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch

    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    3. 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.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    1. 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.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,

  • How to disable an iMessage phone number on selective devices?

    I am using an iPhone 5S along with family sharing and my other family members(with their multiple other Apple devices including iPhone 5c, iPad Air, and iPhone 6) have the option to receive and send messages using my phone number. So, I was wondering if there is a way to remove my phone number from their devices to they no longer have the option to use my phone number from their devices.

    Go to said device - settings - imessage :  can be reached at  and start a new convo - remove/uncheck your number and apple id.

  • How do I change the phone number linked to one of my contacts?

    We want to FaceTime my mother in law but under her contact her work number is listed as the FaceTime phone number. I need to change that to either her mobile or her email address. How do I do that?

    iMessage is tied to your Apple ID.
    If you are using the same Apple ID, you will share iMessages across all your devices.
    If you use a different Apple ID, it won't happen.

  • Phone number links in iCal on iPhone

    When I receive an email on my iPhone that has a phone number included in the text it shows as a link I can tap, and then my iPhone will dial the number. Nice. Is there a way to enter a phone number in iCal that will act the same way? I often place customer phone numbers in iCal appts, but they are not clickable; it would be really handy if they were. Am I just not knowing how to do this?
    Thanks!

    I don't believe this is possible. I sometimes enter a phone number as a note for an event, but the number is not active/clickable to dial the number as is available with a received email or with a website.

  • IMessage phone number grayed out

    Hello,
    My phone number is grayed out in iMessage. I've restarted my phone and reset the network settings, etc. I've also logged out of iMessage and back it but it's still grayed out. The same thing happens with FaceTime.
    Thoughts.

    Not sure what you mean by "it won't let me send with my number using iMessage"?
    Again, that is how it looks normally:
    The first number you see listed above is the number of the iPhone that iMessages is set up on. The second number is another iPhone number that I manually entered.
    You can see that the first number is greyed out (as it should be).
    Does your number have a check mark next to it?
    If not, then that is the issue, not that it is greyed out.
    If the number does not have a check mark next to it, then sign out of iMessage by clicking on your Apple ID at the top of the screen under Settings>iMessages, and then sign back in again. Do the same with FaceTime if that is the issue there.
    Cheers,
