Retrieve a phone number from iCloud that I deleted

Is there a way to retrieve a phone number from iCloud that I deleted a while back from my address book? I had the number in my favorites and all contacts but now I don't know how to get the number back.
I'm using Mavericks

Unless you kept a backup, no.

I currently have an old work phone that is synced to my iPad. I would like to delete the old work phone number from my iCloud without having to contact my previous employer. Is there a way to do this and replace it with my personal iPhone?

An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone. To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage. One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.

How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

Is there an ical/iphone app that allows you to call a phone number from ica

I schedule hourly appointments with clients and type the name and phone number for each client directly on the schedule. Does anybody know of an app that would allow me to simply tap on that phone number from ical to call the client? Otherwise, i have to look at ical on my phone, remember the number, click to phone and enter it in manually. Thanks!

There no app for that, no. But, if you enter the number into the Notes field of the appointment (but not the name or location fields), you can tap the number to dial it from the Calendar app.

If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

How do you disassociate a phone number from iMessage without disabling iMessage completely

Hi there. I will soon be selling my current iPhone for another phone and want to remove the association between the phone number and iMessage so my girlfriend will send SMS messages to my phone from her iPhone instead of iMessages. Is it as simple as turning iMessage off in iCloud settings or does it go a bit deeper than that? I have seen a few stories on the forums of iMessages still being sent to sold or broken phones and don't want this to happen to mine.
Cheers in advance.

All you need to do is turn iMessage off in settings. Also be sure to turn FaceTime off and delete your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud. (Note: deleting the iCloud account only deletes it from the phone, not from iCloud.)
Be sure to create a new backup before selling it. To be save, create a backup both in iCloud and on your computer using iTunes (by clicking on Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings). Then erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, or restore it as a new iPhone.

ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

HT3529 My friend switched his phone number from an iPhone to a Blackberry. My phone still wants to use iMessage to send him a text and won't let me send it as a text unless I turn off iMessage on my phone. Is there a fix for this?

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??
Is it do-able??
I have a contact form that has the contacts phone number, etc... I would like to add a button to dial the number which would open the phone line (probably through my modem) and dial the number ... where I would pickup the receiver and wait for connection...
I need an example or a "How to" link or something where if I take the time I can get it working....
IF not, is there software to do it?
Thanks, Bill

Yes, great! I will check into my modem... but I remember years ago have a c program that I used to send error messages through the modem to my alpha-numeric pager. With that I started with that c program being called from REXX IBM language and it spoke modem language...
Is there another forum that would handle this type of request? what do you call telephone support? telephony? communication links? ....
Thanks for the input!

Can't "prepend" a phone number from a text, document or website?

When the Pre recognizes a phone number in a text message, e-mail, document or website, it allows you to click on the number to call it. Great so far. Unfortunately, once you do so, and completely arbitrarily, the phone won't let you make any edits of any kind to the phone number except to add or delete from the end of the number. Every phone I've ever had has allowed me to "prepend" a number (to, for example, add an area code). More to the point, there is simply no good reason for the Pre to prevent me from making whatever edits I want to the number. I should be fully able to hold down the orange key and move the cursor anywhere that I want within the number and then make edits, just like I can when I enter a number manually. Unfortunately, for no apparent good reason, the phone allows no edits of any sort to any number I've clicked on from another source.
Can anybody suggest a workaround, or do is this just one of those bizarre "what were they thinking" type things I have to live with?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yeah, and I can also copy and paste the number instead of just clicking on it, but both solutions completely and entirely defeat the whole purpose and convenience of being able to simply click on a number in another source to dial it. I don't want to have to add numbers I'm going to be calling only once to contacts just to make small changes before I dial them, and then have to delete them from contacts when I'm done. There is a reason that users can simply click on phone numbers in documents and texts to dial them, and that is convenience. Not being able to make simple edits kills off some of that convenience. Workarounds like adding to contacts or cutting and pasting kill almost all of it.
