  • 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,
    From hamishryan6

  • 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID. Just got iPad mini, want to use iMessage with my phone number, but iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to default to other number?

    Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    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.

  • After I downloaded my iOS7 on my iPhone and iPad my iMessage phone number has been changed

    After I downloaded the new 7 operating system my iMessage no longer uses my phone number, it's changes my number!?

  • 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
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    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.

  • 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,
    GB
