Registration says "invalid local phone number" after OS 10.3x restore

I have an old PowerBook G4 that's still in great shape and I wanted to restore it for some limited usage. The restore went without a hitch, but now OS X is prompting me to register the computer. When I enter my phone number, I get this pop-up window:
"The local phone number you entered is not valid.
Exchange number must be greater than 200, and cannot be 411, 611 or 911."
Any thoughts on this? I really don't need to register this computer as it will mainly be used for internet browsing.
I've already got an Apple ID for my newer Macs.
Any help to either bypass registration or correctly formatting the phone number would be appreciated, thanks!

command-Q gets you off the registration screen.

When I select a local phone number my iphone 4 tries to send an email only and won't ring the number. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

When I select a local phone number from my contacts, the iphone 4 won't ring the number, instead it tries to send an email. Does anyone know if this can be fixed with a setting change?

Thanks for the reply, good try, I thought of that myself and made sure of that this morning, but that is already all done, and as it happens, the contacts are exactly the same as in our other phone (3GS) which works perfectly, but the iphone 4 won't dial ANY local number, instead it tries to send an email. EVERY TIME. most frustrating. I am really trying to work out if there is a setting somewhere (like the area code etc) or if this is a warranty issue.
Thanks again for trying to help!

Cant sent text because it says the cell phone number is not an ios5

when i try to send a text message from my ipad, it won't accept a cell phone number as a recipient, says it is not registered with iMessage.

"Demo" provided the following in a previous post...
It means exactly what it says. That user has not registered and setup Messages on his or her device yet so you can not message with them. They have to set it up first before you can reach them. It does not happen automatically just because you are sending them a message.
Messages only works with other iOS devices - not Android phones - so the person that you want to Message with must have an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone or a Mac running Mountain Lion.

Imessage changed my phone number after the ios7 update

after the ios7 update imessaging has changed my number to some weird 7 digit number with a +1 (1) infront of it. if someone txts my actual phone number the message wont deliver.. i have reset everything on the phone multiple times and have did alot of troubleshooting for this and nothing seems to work. i went to the apple store and they said to call the techs.. i did that before i even went to the store and they couldnt do anything for me. if anybody has any ideas on how to fix this please help! thank you

Hi mdfrommo,
You can't change it back by going to Settings>Phone, and then by clicking on your number at the top? It should take you to a screen that will allow you to delete what is there and type your own number in.
Cheers,

How to update my new phone number after my U-verse phone service is disconnected?

How to update my new phone number for forwarding after my U-verse phone service is cancelled/ disconnected?

I did call them. They said once the phone service is disconnected, there's nothing they can do about it. The thing is that when I called them to cancel the U-verse service yesterday, they did not offer me the opportunity to update the new phone #. This is so frustrating!

How do I add an area code to a phone number after clicking number in text message?

Some people send 7 digit phone number in emails and text messages, and I need to add the area code to the front of the number, or else AT&T will choke. I have not found a simple way to do this.
Current method: copy number to notes, add area code, then paste full number into dialer

Any carrier in the U.S. will choke unless the number is in your area code.
I'm not aware of a way to do this. Selecting the number dials the number.

MOH not working on specific phone number after uploading new MOH file

We have Cisco Unified CM Administration version 8.0.3.20000-2.
Our college has a global MOH (music on hold) file (MOH_040208) that plays for everyone. I was trying to figure out how to upload a different music file (MOH_101311) to see if I could get that MOH file to play only on my phone number (extension). I uploaded a file via Cisco Unified CM Administration>Media Resources>MOH Audio File Management. The upload appeared to be successful (no errors). Then, I went to Media Resources>Music On Hold Server Audio Sources and assigned the next available stream number (#3) to this newly uploaded MOH file.
Next, I went to Device>selected my device name>selected Line #1 and changed the User Hold MOH Audio Source and Network Hold MOH Audio Source from <None> to the newly uplodaded file, MOH_101311. I saved and applied config. During testing, I found that when my line puts anyone on hold, all they hear is silence. However, the college's global music on hold plays for everyone else. On my line, I removed the selection from User Hold MOH Audio Source and Network Hold MOH Audio Source, which put it back to its default of <None>. I deleted the MOH_101311 file from the phone system by removing it from the following two locations: Cisco Unified CM Administration>Media Resources>MOH Audio File Management and Media Resources>Music On Hold Server Audio Sources. However, my line will still not play music when I put someone on hold; then caller only hears silence. I rebooted my phone by unplugging it and plugging it back in, but this did not resolve the issue.
Did I do something incorrectly when trying to get a new MOH file to play on a specific phone number/extension? If so, can someone tell me the correct steps?
Any suggestions on how to make my phone number/extension go back to the way it was and play the college's default MOH file?
Thanks,
Angie

Try resetting it: hold on/off and home buttons simultaneously 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the red off slider which appears first), release and wait for the phone to restart.

Local phone number to dial any number internationa...

I'm helping my father-in-law with his Skype account. He'd had Unlimited calling to Croatia the expired, so I signed him up for Skype premium.
Now he say he has a local number he calls from his landline, and then he can just dial any international number from there.
I'm not seeing this funtionality under any of the features. I'm guessing he was referring to "Skpye to go", but he hasn't had to add any contacts phone numbers before, he can just call the local number and then dial any number he wishes.
He may have an old account he used to set up this feature, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what he's talking about?
Thanks,

Hello,
1. Why "Premium"? Does he want the Group Video facility?
2. That is SkypeToGo.
3. He doesn't need to add any #s. That is simply a convenience feature. He can dial to phones almost anywhere in the world using STG.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

HT4623 how to change phone number after its been activated?

After I purchased the iphone 4S and it was activated, I had my old number transported. The Iphone still shows the number originally assigned by the carrier. Apple support says to reset network settings and that will correct the problem. Didn't work. Now what?

You need to contact the seller. It's their responsibility to sell you something that works. I hope they are legit; if it seemed suspiciously cheap you now know why.

Using iPad's local phone number to buzz people in the door

Hello,
Is it possible to download an app or something that would allow me to use the iPad 2 to buzz people in the door at my apartment? The system will only connect to local numbers, and my 3G iPad does have a local number. But when we tried to use it, we just hear a busy signal at the gate. Is there a workaround?

No, the microSIM in the iPad is for cell data only, you have no cell voice capability on the iPad.

What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

I sold a mac mini and I'm receiving messages to my other devices saying that my phone number and email is associate with all my devices including the one that I sold, how can I unlink the mac mini if I don't have it anymore?

I just want to unlink that computer totally from my account because I don't know if that person that bought is able to see my imessages, facetime, etc... I'll appreciate a lot a little bit of help with this... thanks

Best is to erase the device remotely
iCloud: Erase your device
Otherwise all you can do is change the password for account.
Next time do this
