IPhone 5 Sprint shows wrong number in All Contacts. How can I change it in iOS 7.1?

I bought an iPhone 5 16GB for sprint on eBay. When I swapped phone it wouldn't let me call out or text. My data worked but everything else didn't. I switched from a galaxy s3. Now the weird part is that Under All Contacts it doesn't show my number. Same thing under Setting>Phone. Both were wrong and I don't know what to do
I called sprint and best buy. I did the ##update# numerous times. What can I do to fix this? It's on IOS 7.1. Any advice?
I would greatly appreciate it.

iMessage and FaceTime work with iCloud. Change your Apple I.D in iCloud as well as in iMessage (SETTINGS - MESSAGES). Either turn off and on again iMessage and it would ask you to sign in with your Apple I.D or change it at "Receive at" by clicking on "Apple I.D" (Sign out and sign in with your new Apple I.D.)

    Emailed photos from iPhone using ios7 being formatted to bmp. How can I change to jpg?

    I just solved this issue! Here's the solution in case anyone else is experiencing the same problem: I had him link his phone number to his Apple ID by adding his his phone number to his contact in his Contacts List. After that, messages sent to his phone number are blue.
    I'm guessing his phone number was disconnected from his Apple ID when he somehow toggled off iMessage.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    MacBook Airs won't run Classic, nor will Classic connect to iCloud accounts.    You will need your Mac OS X version to answer the question involved.    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac, and post in the appropriate forum in the link below:

  • When I'm texting somebody it shows their number not their name how do I change that?

    Whenever I'm texting somebody their number shows up and I wanna see their name when I'm messaging them. How do I change it using the IPod 5th generation?

    On the recipient's device, the "name" displayed for the sender is based on the information for the email address (or email address)  you used to send the Message in the recipients Contact app.

  • I lost my iPhone I need serial number to find it how can have serial? I lost the box, the receipt, and the phone.

    Help! I lost my phone, and I dont have the serial #.

    You cannot track iPhone with a serial number.
    If you have Find My iPhone configured before you lost it, you maybe able to track using computer browser:
    iPhone must have Internet connection.
    https://www.icloud.com/#find
    To find your serial number:
    In computer iTunes > Preferences... (Windows: Edit > Preferences...) Devices > hover over your iPhone backup and a pop up will show iPhone's serial and IMEI numbers.

    Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
    And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
    All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
    If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
    If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • My iphone and my Mac have different accounts. How can I change my iphone account to my Mac account and keep everything together on one account?

    I have the new Mac Book Air and The Iphone 4s. I also do not want to completely get rid of my account on my iphone.
    Any answers are appreciated! Thanks

    You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.
