Ios 7 on iphone 4, lost phone numbers associated with all my contacts

STUPID mistake last night. Accidently upgraded to ios7 on my iphone 4 and today I've spent all my time trying to get rid of icloud pop-up and setting my phone back up the way I had it. Then just a few minutes ago I realized all my contact names are still there, but any phone numbers have been erased.....hmmmm great job Apple. Just lost me on this update.
Is there any way to get my 500+ customers contact phone numbers back? Can't believe this happened. I have Verizon but doesn't seem like there automated back-up assist did anything.

Unfortunately that sounds like a common problem 4 and 4S owners are experiencing. Like a sucker, I went and bought the newest 5S (I do love Apple) and my daughter inherited my 4S and after a slew of upload problems, we finally got it working and her battery drains a lot faster than when I had it.
Now she's complaining about it and I told her if she can afford the newest iPhone and her own plan to go ahead and get it. She's 21 now and should be on her own plan. I love her to death, but she can be so ungrateful sometimes.
Good luck, my friend.

How do I change phone numbers associated with an iPad?

How do I change phone number associated with my iPad?

Obviously you must have an iPhone in order to associate the phone number with the FaceTime and Messages apps on your iPad. You haven't clearly stated what you want to do other than associate a phone number, so I assume these are the two apps that you want to associate the phone number with.
If you are unable to add the phone number in the settings in either or both of these apps, you may have to sign out of both apps on the Phone and the iPad - and then sign in again on both devices in order to use the phone number for FaceTime and Messages on the iPad.
This kb article explains how to do this in more detail.

Updating phone number associated with iCloud keychain

I am trying to set up iCloud keychain and it will only keep saying it will send a code to an old UK mobile number that I do not have. I have checked in my Apple ID and my current phone number is listed as the only number with my account, how do I get keychain to acknowledge my current US cell and forget an old UK number?
many thanks

Hi there totalblonde,
It sounds like you need to update the phone number associated with your iCloud Keychain. You should be able to update that with the steps outlined in the following article:
Get help using iCloud Keychain
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Change phone number associated with apple id

Why can you not change the phone number associated with an apple id? I recently bought a new iPhone 5s and gave my 4s to my husband. When he put his sim card in the 4s, it seems like a message came up asking if he wanted to use that number for iMessage and I clicked yes never knowing it was going to change the phone number I have associated with my Apple id. He is not tech savy at all and we both share the same Apple id. I have always had my phone number associated with it and so when I get an iMessage it comes on my Mac computer, iPad, and iPhone--which I like. Now my computer and iPad only have his number with it and there is not an option to add my number back. My phone still shows my cell number associated with iMessage. I am afraid to update my phone in case it knocks me off of iMessage. I have tried the signing in and out of IMessage and Face time on my computer and iPad and that does not help. I just want to change the phone number associated with it.

You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on. If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out. Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct. Then sign in on your iPad.

Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.

TS4268 How do change your phone number associated with iMessage on iPad?

when ipad was set up wrong phone number was entered for imessages and facetime. How do you edit or delete it and enter correct phone number?

I believe this would work except the phone number associated with ipad is not correct. If I follow these steps, the wrong phone number would be setup once again since the iphone's number used at the initial setup of the ipad is not the correct number.
Two different iphones:
Setup now: iphone B with ipad A
Need:iphone A with ipad A
Does this make sense?

Where can I find the phone number associated with my 3G iPad?

How do I find the phone number associated with my iPad? We'd like to sell it, so we want to cancel the 3G service, but the AT&T website asks for the phone number.

I don't have the 3G ... but is there a phone number? Can you make phone calls with it ... I was told there is not phone service from the iPad when I get my iPad1?
But did you check in
Toolbox -> Phone -> My Number
or
Toolbox -> General -> ????
That's where it is on my iPhone ... so maybe some variation of that on the iPad. Most likely somewhere under Network, the third box down in General?
