My phone number is unavailable in imessage

After returning from holiday, my imessage no longer works unless it is through email, which I dont like. I have tried loads of options and nothing has worked.

Contacting your carrier will not work. How ever try these steps
Set - general - date and time. If auto is off then please make sure the correct time zone has been selected
Then make sure you turn auto to on
After that 2 button rest
Hold power button and home button(circle) until you see an apple logo then release.
If device doesn't switch on then power on manual.
Once rebooted. Set -messages. Tap on send and receive. Tap email and sign out. Then sign back in
If this doesn't work.  Try updating your software on your device

    If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

  • Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
    If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.

  • How do I delete a phone number (not mine) from iMessage

    Hi,
    We live in the US. Somehow an international phone number got into our iMessage account. And to top things off, somehow our personal information got replaced with name that is Chinese. I have since changed my Apple ID and password and reset it on all of our Mac hardware.
    I cannot get rid of this internaltional number from iMessage. I can delete email addresses, but not a phone number. I've tried reinstalling OS X, turing iMessage and iCould on and off. Nothing works.
    How do I delete the phone number?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    hi,
    Open a Finder window.
    Use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter (cpy and paste) ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
    Find the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and the com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and drag both to the Trash
    Restart Messages.app.
    You may find you have to reset the iMessages account but the "Aliases" should have gone.

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.

  • Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

    Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

    Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
    Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
    I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
    My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
    i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
    SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!

  • I currently have Imessage turned off on my phone since there is no blocking feature on the Iphone 4.  If I change my phone number and turn on Imessage, how do I make sure I won't get Messages from person I have blocked?

    I have the Iphone 4 but before this I had a different phone and had blocked someone from contacting me via calls/texts.  Unbeknownst to me, when I got the Iphone 4, that I cannot block Imessages.   I have turned off Imessage for the time being but I'm seriously considering changing my phone number.  If I change the number with my carrier and turn Imessage back on,  what do I have to do to ensure that any previous messages don't come through and any future messages cannot be sent?

    You need to log out of iMessage and Facetime, make sure your number is correct in Settings/General/About, then log back in again to send a new activation request.

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • Phone number not listed in Imessage Caller Id

    Okay i'm having a problem with my texts being sent as my email address using Imessage instead of my phone number.   The problem is when I go into settings, messages, received at ect....  My phone number isn't listed there.  It only has my email!  It also doesn't allow me to select the email to delete it.  My phone number is listed under phone in the phone settings, and will also show up as my number if I turn the imessage off.   The country seems to be set up correctly and I have verizon so I can't take out a sim card.  Any ideas on how to fix this? 

    Just thought I'd let everybody know how it finally got resolved 1 week later!
    After trying absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Apple support, apple forums etc told me to do, the only thing that worked was turning iMessage off, waiting for at least 24 hours at then turning iMessage back on.
    It activated itself within a few minutes, no dramas at all!
    Hope this helps!

  • My phone number is gone from imessages on my iphone

    When I send and recieve messages on my iphone they do not go through my phone number instead they go through my email and my phone number doesn't even appear as an option anymore for imessages.

    Hey cdvilla25,
    If you haven't already, I would double-check the settings:
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
