My phone number is showing up as unavailable

so i had a customer call in saying that everytime he would go into his contacts and see his number, it would come out as unavailable, so he would manually enter his number, but it would not allow it to update. so i want to see if anyone else has had a similar issue and if they have any work around for it.

He'd have to talk to his carrier to get his number to show up.
I have been able to successfully type in my number manually when I was in the UK earlier this year.

Why is my phone number not showing up in iMessage?

I have a MacBook running 10.8.2 and iMessage does not have my iPhone number as part of the account. I'd like iMessages sent to my iPhone to also show up in iMessage on my MacBook. How do I get my phone number to show up in my Apple account on my MacBook?
I tried logging out of my Apple account on my MacBook, then logging out of the same account on iPhone, then disabling iMessage on iPhone, then enabling iMessage on iPhone and logging back into the Apple account, then logging back into the Apple account on my MacBook. That didn't bring my phone number into iMessage on my MacBook.

Hi,
Actually that is not true
The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.

MY phone number not showing above phone keypad

When I was at the Apple Store tonight, buying my new phone, Mr. Orange Shirt did something so that MY phone number would show above the phone keypad. It's gone now and I'm not sure what I did. It's a new number, and I liked having it so accessible.
Help! How do I get it back?

The number that shows above the keypad is the number you dial. Your own number will show at the top of the contacts list. A quick way to get to the top of the list is to tap the top bar where the time is shown.

How do I show more information for result set, I need company name, company address and company phone number to show. Now it is just company name and company address no telephone number, I need the number to show as well in the first result set

The result set I get for a search now only shows the company name and address, if I want the telephone number of the company in the result set, I have to click on the link to go the site information to get the number. I want the company name, address and phone number to show up in the result set without having to click on each hyperlink to get the telephone number...

Web form: can't get phone number to show up in email notification

trying to add a phone number field so my client can call leads. I have tried the phone number field both as required and not. The resulting Thank You screen and email just show this without the phone number:
Summary of web form submission:

Is it a workflow issue? How do I fix it?

Hi there,
Your phone number field name doesn't match any of the BC's phone number fields. You have name="PhoneNumber" there, but BC names are name="HomePhone" and name="CellPhone".
Try reinserting that form onto a page and submitting it.
Cheers,

New iPhone phone number not showing in iTunes

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 5s today and after syncing my iTunes content from iTunes to the new phone I've noticed that my new phone numer isn't showing like it did with the 3GS. The phone itself is showing up ok, as is my music content and apps, but the phone number isn't. Its not a big deal but I thought I'd ask all the same as it might help someone in the future.
Thanks.

This happened to me also.. Got me concerned when I didn't see my number in iTunes.. After a couple days (could have been less, I didn't notice) it appeared again. It was working fine so I didn't really mind. I don't think though that it has anything to do with the VM seeing as my VM had been working fine when I noticed the number missing.
Anyway, it works now so...

Phone number not showing up in Imessage

I use to be able to send receive messages with my Ipad using my phone number instead of my email. Now the phone number isn't even listed anymore. Everything on my Iphone is fine. All my id's are listed on that device. I have done a hard reset on both devices. When I go into setting-imessage-send receive. I only have 1 email listed. Any suggestions on what else to do? I have seen other discussions on this subjet. Many talk about caller Id but I don't see that in my options.
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I had to add one more step to your suggestion. First time around it didn't work. Second time I decided to turn off my wifi and run only on the cell network. That seems to have helped.
Once again thanks for your help

My phone number not showing

I seem to remember ticking a box that kept my landline calls anonymous which seemed a good idea at the time but now I realise that everyone does the same as me and simply ignores my calls (I know we don't answer 'withheld numbers).
I cannot find anyway of rectify the situation or indeed any correct term/description to enter in a search to get help.
Please does anyone have any ideas on how to change my number from withheld to the number?
Thank you in advance

To remove it permanently have a read here:

IPhone 4G syncing with iTunes The screen does not show my phone number and backs up to an old file from four months ago.

iOS 6.0 was available this week, so I updated my iPhone 4S. At first it showed a long yellow (other bar) of 10GB, then took the entire day to update my photos (about 20,000 of them. So I tried restoring the phone and the message on iTunes was that I had restored from a different phone. Now I cannot get my phone number to show up on the summary page of iTunes. It says n/a.
And it restores from a backup in June. And those are locked. Any ideas how to get back up to date?
Thanks,

Never mind. It updated itself...

My phone number is showing up as unavailable
