Iphone 4 facetime using wireless wifi (email verification) rather than your phone number

AS it says, though this topic has been quite a thing with the iphone 4 unlike the ipod with facetime apps preinstalled. Anyone know, if we can use the wifi to access facetime on the iphone? without using our calling credits of course. Seems like it would be impossible huh.

FaceTime ONLY works over WiFi, not over cellular data.

  • My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

    Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
    The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
    Thank you.

    Thank you!
    I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

  • Why do imessage settings keep changing back to my email rather than my phone number when I didn't change anything?

    For some reason my iPhone 5 has been automatically changing my imessage settings to send/receive from my email rather than my phone number.  Even after I go back and correct it the same thing happens again later. Now I cannot receive any texts from a particular number (belongs to iPhone 4 owner) but they can receive mine, how do I fix this???

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

  • I have iCloud setup within outlook. If I change a calendar event in oulook it is sending updates to invitees using my iCloud email address rather than my outlook work email address.

    My outlook on my windows PC has mail setup already using my work email address. I have added iCloud now so my outlook calendar is always synced with my iphone. My iCloud username is my personal email address not my work email address. Problem is I just updated a meeting time in my calendar on outlook and it sent an update to my invitees using my personal email address regisetered with iCloud rather than my outlook work email address. I dont understand this as if I check my outlook sent items, I can clearly see that my updated meeting request was sent from my work email in outlook. Does iCloud automatically send updates to invitees using your iCloud username?

    Same here.. My girlfriend imported her calendar in iCloud from work and iCloud has send everyone in her appointments an email. Not funny....
    I'm afraid that if she is deleting her iCloud calendar everyone will get a mail that the meeting is canceled. By the way she exported her work calendar to an .ICS file which she imported in Outlook at home. Then she copied the calender (no other way) to iCloud.
    Apple I love your stuff but please do not mess around with this stuff or warn people better.. You can not send everyone in someone's calendar an email without let the user decide wether she wants that or not....
    Will Google further for solutions...

  • How do you get the email address on a 755P to show-up as something other than your phone number?

    I have a 755p and as far as I know, it is set-up properly, however, everytime I send or respond to an email from my 755P, the"sender" email address shows-up as my phone number with my email address in <>.  I would like to simply have my actual email address only show-up without the phone number, is this possible?  If so, please let me know and be as descriptive as possible as I am not the best with this stuff.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you using the Verizon SMTP server settings in your account? This may be an issue with the way Verizon relays the email and you may need to speak with them regarding the issue.

  • IMessage sent from email address rather than phone number...

    I'm having similar problems with my iMessage update under iOS 5.  When I send text messages to other iPhone users, it appears as iMessage and from my email address rather than my phone number.  I went into Settings > Messages > Receive At, but there's no option to add my phone number.  It keeps showing my Apple Account, which I registered under for iMessage and iCloud with my email address.  It only allows me to add another email address.  From what I can tell, non-iPhone users are still receiving my text messages from my number like regular.  If I turn iMessage OFF, I'm sending regular text messages to all users.  Anyone have a fix yet?  I'm wondering if this was an Apple goof that won't be resolved until the next iPhone update. 

    What I am curious about is, how do I know if what I'm sending is coming from my number as a text message or as an iMessage with my Apple ID.  I'm really asking this specifically because, I have friends overseas who I have been texting..now we have iMessenger.. but how do I know it's not being sent as a text instead (therefore costing me money)? Just because it's being sent using their email?
    I've used a Blackberry before, and they have their texting & BBM as two seperate applications with two seperate icons...kinda hoping Apple had done the same  here :/
    Any help would be great thanks

  • Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s and an iPad 4 mini. I have unlokced my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a diffeent SIM and new number, can i have all devices associated to me single appleID and use both numbers ?

    I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s (perosnal mobile numer) and an iPad 4 mini (no SIMM). I have unlocked my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a different SIM and new number,
    Do you know if I can have all devices associated to my single apple ID and still use both numbers without messing up my profile. It has just changed my number over.

    I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
    So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.

  • My iphone is currently using battery life much more quickly than inthe past, and it also has an icon tht is starying on the screen, to the left of the battery charge percentage, that looks like a lock with a circle around it

    i have an iphone that is using battery life much more quickly than in the past, a full charge is going to zero in a half a day or so, with out much use.
    an icon is also appearing next to the charge percentage in the top right, and the icon is a circle around a lock
    can anyone tell me what the problem is, and what the icon means?

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • Using more than one phone number on single iPhone for iMessage?

    Is it possible to intentionally have more than one phone number listed under Settings > Messages > Send & Receive?  I know I've heard of 'glitches' where more than one phone number is shown accidentally and how that is solved (signing out of iMessage and then back in), but if you want to intentionally have more than one phone number listed there (say, the phone number of your own device and also the phone number of your work-related iPhone), is there a method?  I'm leaning toward the answer of 'no', but I'm wanting to double check.

    I'm not sure, but if you use the same Apple ID for both iphones and register both with messages, then you may be able to go to device one Settings>Messages>Send&Receive and select device twos number as well.
    I thought about that. For some reason, I think that I've heard it doesn't work. Sadly, however, I don't have two iPhones with which to test it.

    Yes, but if you are asking if he can add your existing iTunes music to his existing Apple ID then the answer is no. This may explain your options:
