SMS Verified number doesn't show

When I use SMS, my verified number doesn't show up on the phone I'm messaging. It shows 75973.

I have the same problem.  The receipients not see my verified SMS number. Instead, they see another mobile number that I am not associated with.  To make things worse - some of my receipients tried to reply to those numbers... and of course - I did not get their responses.
I attempted to experiment with this feature (bye sending an SMS to myself) and it looks like sometimes this feature works, leading to a conclusion that the next time everything will be OK.  Nope!

  • Settings - phone - my number doesn't show up

    My phone number doesn't show up in phone settings?
    and on other iPhones it works.
    Is there something to turn it on?

    I have no idea what that means, unless you're talking about synch with iTunes, and that's not something we have done or will do. I bought these as presents because we can't keep our business cells on over the weekend or in the evenings without customers, reps and various suppliers calling us repeatedly. These iphones are for our use only and the numbers will NEVER be given to anyone else, ever.
    These are stock, new iPhones, slated for Christmas stockings, and they will probably never have email on them, never surf the net, and the only contacts will be our two numbers. They are strictly set up so she & I can finally talk & text each other, bypassing our corporate phones which do not allow texting.
    I had the Apple Store set these up, and neither phone knows what it's number is. How does this happen? Even the worst free cell phones know what their numbers are!

  • 1st Typed Key/Letter/Number Doesn't Show Up..

    Hi,
    I have a new and 100% up to date 15" PB. I don't recall if this was happening before the 10.4.4 update but beleive it was and now is just getting to me.
    What's happening is when entering text in a search type box the 1st type charecter doesn show. So If I type "Apple" it comes out "pple"..Get it?
    Usually it will be like this: I'll already have text entered in the box and highlight it and begin typing. Sometimes I'll clear it out with a delete but same thing. This happens about 1 out of 20 times I go to enter text. Always and only the 1st charecter.
    If I conciously type a bit harder it never happens which would lead me to beleive it's me..but I've never had this problem with any keybords before.
    I notice this mostly in Safari. Never in a text editting software or say Fireworks or Photoshop when entering text.
    The 2nd charecter ALWAYS shows up.
    I have adjusted the keyboard preferences several times with no cure.
    Whaddya think?
    Warren

    Hi Warren,
    You're not alone. Take a look at this thread. Updating my posted comment I've found this issue has reoccurred intermittently since updating to 10.4.4.

  • I cannot send or receive SMS text messages and my number is not showing up in the 'Recieve At' location..how do I fix this?

    I just bought and activated a new Iphone 4s and I cannot send or receive normal SMS text messages. Also, my number is not showing up in the "receive at" location. Any help??

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Beyond that... since you state you've tried all "recommended fixes" have you actually restored as new and not from your backup?

    I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
    the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
                $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
                $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
                $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
                $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
                // Additional headers
                $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

    would like to have your thoughts though.
    $headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n  format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";

  • HT2589 What if I have an iPhone and its sends/recieves messages with our apple id which is my moms email? How do I fix that so that when I text my friends it doesn't show up with my moms email but my number?

    What if I have an iPhone and its sends/recieves messages with our apple id which is my moms email? How do I fix that so that when I text my friends it doesn't show up with my moms email but my number?

    Hi lfeddrix,
    You can send and receive Messages from the Apple IDs and phone numbers signed in to your iMessage section in the settings of your phone. We have an article that explains a little bit about this, and it can be found here:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    This section is the most appropriate for your situation:
    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.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • My Macbook Pro Retina's serial number does not show up on Apple's warranty check page?

    My Macbook Pro which I bought around 2 weeks ago doesn't show up in Apple's warranty check website it just says:                                              
    "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again, or contact us.'"
    Currently I do not have any problem with the machine. But I always like to check the warranty in any product when I buy it and it got my attention what is said. An important detail is that I bought it from an Apple Authorized Reseller. I have try also registering from webpage to register my devices and this showed up: We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again.

    Firstly, is your Macbook Pro a new one.   The apple registration site is now closed and the details are usually sent to Apple via the sales slip or seller.   Have you checked to see if the serial number on the machine itself matches that number you provided to Apple?
    At this busy busy time of the year you should also expect delays but in the event the situation continues you will need to get on to Apple Support.   Can't tell where your location is so go via ...
    Contact Apple for support and service  
    find your national flag and proceed from there.

  • External Hard Drive doesn't show up

    hi.
    i'm having an issue with my external hard drive. this morning i went to plug it in since that's where i store all of my music, and for some odd reason it didn't work. i have a feeling it's because the night before i unplugged it without ejecting it. my mistake, i know, but now the drive is all messed up. earlier i was able to view the volumes on it in disk utility, and before deciding to erased anything i plugged it into my sister's dell where i transfered everything on the drive. now, when i plug it in my macbook it only shows up in disk utility without the volumes, it doesn't show up on the dell anymore, and when i go to erase everything it tells me "operation timed out".
    i'm at a loss of what to do. i tried restarting the macbook, unplugged the cables... nothing seems to work. i would really like to get the thing back to factory settings if that's possible. so if anyone can offer help, it would be most appreciated. the external drive is a 500GB Maxtor OneTouch

    Try this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    If you plan to use this drive on both your Mac and a PC, then format the drive MS-DOS rather than Mac OS Extended.

  • SMS Phone number verification

    My phone number that I want to appear when I send an SMS has already been verified - checking my account shows it so, but when I try and send an SMS today, a window pops saying I can add my phone number, then when I go to settings and it shows that my number needs verifying. Even when I send through the verification code, it makes no difference. This has not been a problem beofre in 2-3 years.

    Sorry, I can't help, but the I'm getting the same thing (in case it adds weight to getting this fixed). And MS think it will get people to use this service?

  • E71 doesn't show caller's name

    Today I noticed that my E71 doesn't show any names when somebody calls me, neither does it show any names with text messages (SMS). It shows just the number. 
    It doesn't show any name, I tried it with 10+ different people, both calling and texting. 
    I have no duplicates in my address-book. I didn't add anything in the last 3 days. Yesterday everything worked just fine. I have no '(unnamed)' entries in my address-book either. No empty entries either. I didn't sync my phone with my pc (via Nokia PC Suite) since last week.
    I tried the short codes for incoming caller ID:
    Incoming CLI Presentation (you see the caller's number)
    Allow: *30#[GREEN CALL KEY]
    Prevent: #30#[GREEN CALL KEY]
    Query default: *#30#[GREEN CALL KEY]
    The Query default gave back that it does show CLI. Just to be sure I've sent the Allow code once more. It confirms that it now does show CLI.
    It does show the number, but it doesn't show the name.  
    My provider is Telfort (Dutch). 
    All help / information appreciated! 

    Have you numbers stored on the sim card? If there is no duplication whatsoever, and none of the other suggestions in the link I posted you helps, then the only other thing I can suggest is to reset your phone and see if that works. Only thing is that wipes all yout data so you need to backup and restore.

  • Bizarre HD Puzzler:Primary HD doesn't show up in Finder

    Haven't come across this before...
    My primary HD (Macintosh HD), which has all of my System, Application, Library, etc files on it...doesn't show up in Finder any more, or...I should say...as of tonight. It's there when I do a search. I can open it and all the files appear to be intact. All of my applications seem to running normally (except for Lightwave 3D, which can't find the softward key that's stored in the library file). I can install software to the Macintosh HD as well.
    It's just now showing up in the finder.
    I'm running a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5/OS 10.4.10/6.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
