Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.

My phone number is same as phone that was lost. When the rep from Bell in Moose Jaw, sask all my contacts, text messages, and only some of my pictures and videos came through but, not all of them, it loaded my oldest pictures and videos. I want the latest pictures and videos, how do I do that? I also purchased 15 GB Icloud storage, when I go into the "Manage Storage" at the bottom of screen it says 12.1 GB available of 15.0 GB on icloud the processing bar has only moved slightly and just stays that way. What do I do to get all my pictures and videos?

On your iPhone tap Settings > iCloud

iCloud does not store videos. Images only.

Dear BB expert,
During using after upgrading to os 10.2.0.415 (1767), I've met some following issues, they make me uncomfortable, and I think everyone like me. Please help to resolve or inform to Blackberry in order to fix in next release.
1. Calendar:
1.1. Calendar always chooses BBLink as default:
When I create an event (by: open Calendar app, pick a day and add an event), app always choose BBLink as default, while I want event is Home (Local Calendar), though I had gone into manage and chosen ‘Home (Local Calendar)' before. I always must choose again. Please help to resolve.
1.2. There are some/a lot of events that I've added before but current I don't remember them, so I must go through each month to look for, this make me inflexible. I want Calendar app has a menu called 'All entry' that When I pick it all events will show as a list. As you see, this thing will be very comfortable.
2. Contact:
2.1. Search field does not show x (clear) when I do not focus there, mean that, When I enter text into search field, press Enter, then pick a contact, after that I go back, text box of search field will not show (x), I must pick it, then (x) icon will be visible. This make me inflexible, uncomfortable, I want search field always show (x). It seems previous os had this thing.
2.2. I don't understand why facebook contact always show in Contact app, though I set it off in Settings, I set again again again, and then everything does not change, It is still showed in Contact, just it. I have Google contact, BBM, BBLink, and they are in off setting. There is only Facebook contact that is always showed.
2.3. How to create group contact in Contact app, this function is a basic function in old device, sometime I send message to a group of contact, how to do it. I want it appears in next release.
3. Message:
As you known, Text message has issue when conversation becomes long (a lot of message in conversation). When I pick a contact in Text message, some time, it is hang/freeze, no message is showed, cannot send new message,…Please fix issue in next release.
Please help to resolve or inform Blackberry,
Thank you very much,
Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks to both of you for your helpful insights. Oracle Support confirms that the OCR has been corrupted. We can start the db using SQL*Plus, but SRVCTL will not start the db. I did a SRVCTL CONFIG and noticed that the cluster database was not listed, so I tried a SRVCTL ADD DATABASE. That failed, too.
We are going to try to restore the OCR from an OCR backup prior to the upgrade. Oracle Support, after analyzing our logs and other configuration data, recommeded Metalink note 371378.1 as a guide to restoring the OCR backup. Other Metalink notes I found in my research, that were helpful, are 259301.1, 275919.1 and 330358.1.
Again, thank you for your insights and suggestions. I will update this thread after we restore the OCR tonight from backup.

Help! Where are my contacts & text messages after syncing new iPhone!

Hi anyone who can help!
I've just had to replace my iPhone 3G which was faulty, and got my new one today without any problem.
I did all the right things by syncing all my iPhone content last night with iTunes so that I could reload them onto the new one.
But when I plugged in the new one to sync from 'back up', it said the new iphone's software was too old, and that I would first need to
1 - set it up as a new phone
2- upgrade the software
3 Then sync again using the 'back up' content.
Well I've done the first two but after that I've found it impossible to back up using the original content and now I fear it's synced it again with new material, ie an empty phone basically! What I really need to know is all that content, ie my entire phone book AND text messages thread (going back a year) still retrievable? I've located all my contacts in the address book and I may have to re-enter them manually, which I can live with, but what about the text messages??
Any help at all much appreciated!

Text messages aren't included with the iTunes sync process except for being included with the iPhone's backup, and the same for contacts unless you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, which must be manually selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Before syncing contacts with the Address Book app on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book app on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to calendar events before the first sync with iCal on your Mac.
If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac per the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

How to transfer contacts & text messages from 6230...

I have recently bought a 5230 Navi and also transferred from Virgin to 3 because the phone I bought, via eBay, although brand new and never used was locked to 3 and apparently the 5230 is difficult to get unlocked other than through 3.
Can anyone give me a step by step procedure for the easiest and quickest way to transfer my contacts and text message from my old phone to my new phone.
I tried to do a backup with Nokia Phone Suite but it didn't seem to write my contacts or messages to it's file.
Thanks

Just try it.. Even if the old phone does not have it; when you start 'Phone Switch' it will prompt you that the old phone does not have it but do you want to send the application to the old phone? ...and when you select 'yes' the application is sent thru' sms... and you may be able to install it on the old phone and perform the switch... ( your old phone should atleast be compatible for this though...)

Please help if you can. iOS 6 upgrade performed today on my iPhone. I lost EVERYTHING but my music. My contacts, text messages, and most importantly, my pictures and videos. I recently saved these photos to my computer which crashed shortly after.

This upgrade caused me to lose all contacts, texts, and most importantly, my photos. Backup seemed to have not been performed by iTunes prior to upgrade. How can I restore any of this?

Hi
Yes, everything is lost if you did not have a backup but if yout want to make your phone work again you need to put it into DFU restore mode. Hopefully it was just a software issue and your phone will still work
1. plug it into itunes
2. Hold the home button and the sleep/wake button on top until it goes black
3. release the sleep/wake button and hold the home button until you see a notification in itunes that says "itunes has discovered a phone in recovery mode"
4. Hit restore or download and update.

In syncing my itunes to my iphone, the process deleted my contacts and text messages as well as pictures. Any way to retrieve them?

In the process of syncing my itunes library to my iphone, my contacts, text messages and pictures were deleted. Any way to retrieve them?

Problem solved unchecked back up to icloud and backed up to my computer, which then allowed me to untick the songs that were physically on my iphone (when iphone connected to computer) that I didn't want. Synced again and voila!!! Only files I want are now on my iphone . This has been bugging me for weeks, determination certainly paid off. Sometimes I think having problems is a good thing, you learn heaps trying to solve an issue

IPhone won't send cellular/text messages to other iphone

So, I'm out of data and I had no wifi either. For all my contacts that have iPhones, messages recognised this and switched it from iMessage to just message. Except for one contact. Even though I had sent that contact text messages before, as well as iMessages. I have no idea what hapoened or how to fix it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this same problem. I could send group messages to people that had iPhones, but when ever I tried to send a group message to people that don't have iPhones, it would never go through. I was searching and searching for an answer, and I finally found it.
I went to the Settings --> Messages --> Group Messaging
Turn OFF Group Messaging
Doesn't make sense, but it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

Retaining contacts and messages after a full restore

Hi All,
Wonder if someone would be kind enough to let me know whether this is possible.
I want to do a full restore of my iPhone 4 - following the widely occurring and publicised battery issues. So as I understand it this involves restoring my iPhone and setting it up as a new iPhone rather than restoring from back-up (I have tried this but to no avail).
Now I know I can put my music, photos, books apps etc etc back on, using iTunes but can I put my contacts, text messages and notes back on? Or is there a way that I can guarantee I won't lose them all?
To be honest text messages here are secondary anyway; preserving contacts and my notes is my top priority. I do not have a mobile me membership by the way.
Thanks very much in advance

I looked in the address book, but it was wiped out there as well.
I apologize for not being tech-savvy.
That's up to the user. When setting up the iPhone as described in the manual, you should choose an application on your computer to sync contacts to. You do this by connecting the phone to your computer, clicking on its name in iTunes, then going to the Info tab and checking "Sync contacts with" and choosing an app. Usually Address Book for Mac, Windows Vista, 7 or 8, or Outlook for Windows XP.
Alternatively, you can choose to sync to iCloud from the phone's settings. Then your contacts will be in your iCloud address book, which you can access by logging in to icloud.com with your Apple ID.
Alternatively, you can sync with Google Mail, which will allow you to sync your contacts with Google's address book.
Alternatively, you can do the same with Hotmail or Yahoo.
Alternatively, if you get email from an MS Exchange server, contacts will automatically sync with it.
If you didn't do any of these you risk losing contacts if something glitches.

IMessage vs Text Message accounts

SInce updating my 5s to iOS8, i have had a couple of problems:
1) I cannot send text messages anymore. "Send" never turns green, unless I specifically chose "Send as text message" from the context menu (but that only works after I failed sending a text message, resulting in a second iMessage as soon as I am back on WiFi). But I assume this is an IOS 8 bug and there's nothing I can do Right now.
2) This is somethin that has bothered me a long time, but it's related. Why are there two accounts in my iMessage history? If I send a message to a friend, I can send it to the Apple ID e-mail address, or to his/her cell phone number. Both become messages within the iMessage app. But in the history, those two are shown as separate threads? What's the point? In my contacts, both e-mail and phone number are associated with the same person.
If anyone can explain this to me, I'll buy drinks for everyone (next time I'll see ya). ;-)
Thanks for the help.

Alright, so two updates have come and gone, and I still cannot send text messages to contacts with an Apple account. iMessage defaults to iMessages even when I'm off WiFi and have set the preferences to Send as SMS. As long as no e-mail/Apple ID is associated with the contact, text messaging is fine.
The problem exists since iOS8, so the two questions above are highly relevant right now. Can anybody help?

TS4097 we have multiple users in our family and multiple devices all sharing one itunes account. i think we are all synced to one icloud account and it is a nightmare....contacts lost, text messags showing up on multiple devises etc. how do we fix this?

We have our family sharing one itunes account. we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac. I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess. The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices. how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?

You have two different issues going on. You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage. This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
