IPad can't use phone number

My iPad can't use my phone number to send iMessage with after update to 6.1.3. I have tried turning it of and back on again but i can only choose my email to send/recieve from.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how i can fix it?

Read this kb article and make sure that you go to the very end of the article to find out what to do. You might have to sign out of Messages on all of your iDevices in order to link the iPhone number back to Messages on the iPad. You should be able to do that if you follow the steps at then end.

  • How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

    How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
    It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
    Is there any way?
    devices:
    iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
    iPhone 5S
    Thanks!

    well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
    as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
    it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
    Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

  • Using phone number in messages app in Mac OS X

    In Messages(on Mac) I have set up Start New Conversations to use phone number.  When I send text(to myself) I get notifications on ipad and iPhone.  However I was exepcting to get the Banner notifcation(as I configured) on Mac and I do not get it.
    Ayn ideas as to why?  Does it have soemthing to do with using the phone# instead of email address?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    Hi,
    I sometimes find that Notifications only work when the App is not the "front" app.
    Also, if you have Linked the Apple ID and the iPhone number during the process of setting up the Mac version and the iPhone and you are then sending to yourself (either to the iPhone Number or the Apple ID) then there is also no-one to notify as it will be synced back anyway.

  • Doyou know if Ipad can be used with a bluethoot earphone?

    Do you know if Ipad can be used with a Bluethoot earphone?

    Only if it supports A2DP protocol.  Many Bluetooth headsets for phone calls only do not, but some will.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

  • I have the original iPad can I use a stylus pen to write in notes?

    I have the original iPad can I use a stylus pen to write in notes?

    One thing to be aware of is that capacitive stylii have a rather broad tip. This makes them feel more like writing with a marker than a pen. (though the width of the line is controlled by the software.)

  • How many iPads can I use with a licensed app?

    How many iPads can I use with a licensed app?

    If you're asking for a school, as I'm guessing from your aliast, here are the official terms of licensing for the App Store:
    If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
    So in summary, you can use an app on any iPad you use yourself. If you want to use the app on multiple iPads used by different users, you need a license for each iPad. Check out the Volume Purchase Program:

  • My husband and I both use the same Apple ID, but we can't use his number for iMessaging or FaceTime on his iPad and still have access to all our other music and apps... How can I add his number to be used?

    I want to use my husband's contact number on his iPad so that we can iMessage and especially FaceTime, but we share the same Apple ID. This works fine on our phones, why can't we have the option to use his contact number on his iPad the same way? This iPad can only be used with WiFi (contrary to what we were told upon purchasing it...). Anyone have any helpful advice??

    This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.
