My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4.

My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4. It works fine on my iphone 4s but when I active it only my emails show up and no phone number. I  tried turning iMessage on and off, rebooting, hard reboot, signing in and out of my Apple ID but nothing seems to work! Any suggestions?

You are doing all of the right things. Just keep trying. I never owned an iPhone until last week, and I was having fits getting my phone number to appear in my settings. I signed out of Messages and FaceTime on my iPhone and my iPad and just kept trying the whole cycle over and over until it worked. It took about 4 or 5 tries before it finally worked.
Sign out of both apps on the phone and the iPad, then start with the phone and sign in again on that device first, then try on the iPad again

  • My phone number no longer shows up when I call a l...

    Hi, 
    I paid to have my cell phone number show up when I call a landline. This worked great for a good while (maybe 2 years). It is no longer working. 
    Do I need to renew this feature ? If so, how do I do this.
    TIA

    PS hope this is the correct forum 

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • Siri is not showing the correct owner name.  When I ask Siri, "What is my phone number?" it shows me contact that is in my phone.  Why Is this?

    When I ask Siri "What is my phone number?" Siri shows the incorrect #.  It gives me a contact in my phone, which obviously isn't me.  Why is this and how can I fix it?

    In your settings... you have the "My info" VCARD selection with someone else and not your info... just change that and yo'll get what you're expecting to hear when you ask Siri that...

  • Images won't show up when I try to upload online

    Hi
    I need help to figure out why my photos won't show up when I try to upload them online (e.g. Facebook, Pinterest, Google+). All of my photos are in iPhoto and it used to work fine until I updated to ver 9.3 a coupe of days ago. When I open iPhoto, it shows all the images but when I try to upload something, I couldn't find my photos so I end up copying them to my desktop first which is very inconvenient, especially if I am uploading severa photos. It works alright when I attach photos in Outlook though, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
    PS I did some screen shots if that would help explain things better. By the way, my OS version is 10.7.4, if that is relevant at all?
    This is my iPhoto right now.
    This is how it looks like when I open Photo Browser or attach an image to an email via Outlook.
    This is what it looks like when I try to upload images on to Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, etc.

    Where did you get the phone?
    If you see an ICCID unknown in Settings>General>About, that indicates a catastrophic failure. Very often this is caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will have to be replaced.

The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • Phone number is not showing up

    I have a 4s that i recently put ios 6 software on.  people are telling me my phone number is not showing up.  Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? thanks

        donnagman,
    Thanks for the details. All numbers should show up in the message history log, unless you are communicating via iMessage. When texting the numbers that are missing in the message log are you using your normal messaging app on the device or a downloaded app? Have the numbers that are missing been shown in your message log before?

    Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.
