Phone number links in iCal on iPhone

When I receive an email on my iPhone that has a phone number included in the text it shows as a link I can tap, and then my iPhone will dial the number. Nice. Is there a way to enter a phone number in iCal that will act the same way? I often place customer phone numbers in iCal appts, but they are not clickable; it would be really handy if they were. Am I just not knowing how to do this?
Thanks!

I don't believe this is possible. I sometimes enter a phone number as a note for an event, but the number is not active/clickable to dial the number as is available with a received email or with a website.

Phone number links in iCal

Hello all;
In Mail, phone numbers turn into links which when tapped dial the call.
In iCal, even if I put a phone number in the event name or notes and view it on the iPhone, it is not a link. So I transcribe it on paper (yuck!) then dial it manually.
Tried to workaround this by adding attendees to the event but those contacts don't show on the iPhone.
Anyone know a way to be able to tap-dial from iCal on the iPhone?
Thanks, dave

Not possible.

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.

Can I use my phone number in imessage for both iphone and ipad in the same chats?

I want to use iMessage from my ipad with my phone number not with my e-mail because most of my friends have not my e-mail under my name in their phones.
So what I want to is being able to talk in the same chat from my ipad and iphone with out showing my e-mail to the person who I'm talking with because that making the chat appears one to me but two to him.
Thank you and sorry for bad English ;)

On I pad it only work with E mails because the I Pad is not associated with your cell phone number.

How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If not... you may have been scammed.

HT3529 New Phone Number Linking to Messages

I have a new phone number and am having trouble getting the new number to appear on my iPhone 4S under the Messages/Settings.
Even though the old number has been deactivated, messages are still being sent/received by the old number.
It's been approximately 72 hours since the new number went into effect. How do I get this to update?

Hi,
For me this method did not work.
However as you can see from the other posts for some people it does.
There is not really enough info to determine what was different about those that worked.

Phone number re-associated with old iPhone - can't receive texts

I have given my iPhone to my son after purchasing an Android, and my son is essentially using it as an iPod. After he updated to iOS 7, my phone number (which I have transferred to my new phone) has become associate with iMessage and I am unable to receive texts on my new phone from people who have iMessage. Is there a way to remove the number from that device so that I can receive texts again? Thanks.

Finally got through to talk to a very helpful technician at EE by selecting account query rather than technical problem on the automated answering system on 150. A reset by EE sorted the problem out and the phone is working fine again.

"add to contacts" from phone number link doesn't work, iOS 8.1

When you click on a phone number, e.g. in a Facebook messenger chat, you get the option to call the number or "add to contacts". If you click "add to contacts", the contact screen appears for a moment and closes again. I have tried a few times but it's not possible to use this feature. Seems to be a bug.
iOS 8.1, iPhone 4S

Hey Kalii, I also have the same problem here. I'm in Hong-Kong with 3 network and iOs 8.1.1
Was working all fine when I bought the Iphone 6 about 2 weeks ago. Go to Thailand over the weekend and when I get back impossible to reconnect to the network.
Tried to force restart, tried to loose wifi and reconnect, tried to restore network and tried the airplane mode on-off..... nothing works!
Not sure if changing the sim will do anything, I'm sure it's the Iphone 6 antenna or software itself that got a problem!

My dad has an upgrade with his phone number, can I preorder the iPhone 5s with his number and use it with my phone number?

I want to preorder the iPhone 5s. My personal phone number is not eligible for an upgrade yet, but my day's phone number is. He says that I can use his upgrade. On September 20, 2013 when the online preorder begins, am I able to preorder a phone for myself with my dads number and use it with my own number? How does it all work?

Most carriers will allow you to swap phones between numbers without a problem. Swapping will not change the contract on the number that the phone was ordered for. Nor will it affect eligibility for future upgrades. Of course the "swap" will normally need to be done with phones on the same carrier and is probably easier to do when on the same account.
I do this every year, or rather every other year. I am the techie, my wife not so much. So when the new iPhone comes out, I get it for which ever number is eligible for upgrade and have it activated to my number and then activitate my old phone to her number. I usually go to the phone company store (AT&T in my case) as they have new sims on hand and usually need to use at least one.

How do I change the phone number linked to one of my contacts?

We want to FaceTime my mother in law but under her contact her work number is listed as the FaceTime phone number. I need to change that to either her mobile or her email address. How do I do that?

iMessage is tied to your Apple ID.
If you are using the same Apple ID, you will share iMessages across all your devices.
If you use a different Apple ID, it won't happen.

How i can change the phone number for face time in iPhone 6

plas i want change my old number to new number for face time in iPhone

Go into Settings, turn FaceTime off. Power the phone off/on. Go back into Settings, turn on FaceTime and let it activate. The phone number comes from the SIM and the activation message. It should populate the correct number.

Selecting my phone number as an address on iPhone 4

I changed some settings on my account and now I can't select my phone number on FaceTime or iMessage in my settings to receive messages or FaceTime calls. Can someone tell me how to add it please? Thank youuu
