Text multiple phones
can you send SMS to more than one phone #?
Is there a way to create a group in Contacts?
I just got the phone and love it but i'll be really disappointed if i can't communicate with multiple people without having to create a new text for each one. even my old cheap phone could do that...
No you cannot. I as does many others find it ludicris that Apple ommitted these basic phone features for eample, the ability to send and recieve Multi Media Messages, texting to multiple recipients, creating groups in contacts, simple editing features in email and text, copy and paste, etc. etc. etc. etc......... Thus the reason why I am going back to my Palm Treo 750, a much better and less expensive phone.

on a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.
Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

The four members of my family just upgraded to iOS 7 last night. We now find that we are receiving each other's text messages. It's possible that during the installs, a few members may not have "unckecked" the multiple phone numbers they can be reached on. I know that I had to uncheck my husbands work mobile number and work email address as they came up as choices for contacting me. So now I am receiving some of my daughter's text messages on my phone - she's not impressed! My husband is receiving my texts etc... It's a mess! I appreciate any help anyone can offer!
I had this problem last night as well. Only my daughter upgraded to iOS7 and she had an old phone of mine. When she upgraded, the phone asked for my apple ID and then continued as normal. However, after the upgrade, any text message that I recieved, she also recieved. I am pretty sure my wife thought I was hammered when she started texting me and my daughter began answering her not having any clue what she was texting about. Anyway, this only occurred with texts from other family members, not from texts I received from friends who are obviously not on our account (we have Verizon BTW). To resolve this issue, and it isn't a short resolution.... there are two options... One, simply erase everyting on the phone.... I don't like iTunes 11, so we were unable to back up her phone. I made her go through her 600 photos, delete the ones she didn't want and email the ones she wanted to herself, and then we wiped the phone clean and rebooted it... go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. The second option, if you have iTunes 11 is to back up the phones one at a time, and then go into Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these options wipes the phone clean of all information, text contacts pictures etc and then you have to re-enter all of your individual information. When you do that, make sure that no one is on the same iTunes account. Theoretically, after you do this, you plug back into your computer and SYNC your phone from the last back-up. This resolved the problem for us. I don't know if there is an easier solution, be we tried logging in and out of our iTunes Accounts, turning the power on and off, and nothing changed. So, we had to go the more difficult route to avoid mass confusion with family texting.

Can I attach multiple phone numbers to my iMessage account?
So here's my predicament:
Any time I go travelling somewhere, I like to buy a local SIM card so that I don't have to pay fees for roaming data. The problem is that whenever I insert a new SIM card, iMessage switches to using my new (temporary) number and disconnects from my old (permanent) number. So any new messages I send will either send from this foreign number, or from my email; either one is inconvenient because it tends to start new threads for others in group messages and such. And people who try to iMessage my permanent phone number end up having it fail and then send it as a text message (which I will not receive until I get home and switch my SIM card back).
Is it possible to have multiple phone numbers connected to an iMessage account? (Without resorting to something drastic like buying more iPhones just to have more active numbers.) It seems like something that should be possible, but I can't figure out how to do it.No, it isn't possible. But you can give Apple this suggestion here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

Cleaning up email, text, and phone
Just moved from a BlackBerry to Droid Razr Maxx and don't intuitively find a way to Delete All for email, text, and phone lists. Any advice? Thank you.
Congratulations on the upgrade to your new Razr Maxx.
The OS with an Android is considerably different than the OS for the Blackberry.
With that being said, there isn't a way to delete email, texts and phone calls all in one swoop.
To delete multiple emails, you can go to the email icon, select Menu, Select all.
To delete multiple text messages you can go to the Messages, long press on the message conversations you want to delete and they will turn blue. In the upper right hand corner you will see a trash can and it will delete the selected messages when pressed.
To clear call logs, go to the the Phone icon, press menu and Clear List.
I hope this has helped.

Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?
Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

My family has multiple phones on one apple ID. Is there a way of switching it so we each have our own ID without losing everything?
Hi ndmulderx,
If I understand correctly, your family has been sharing a single Apple ID and now you want to give everyone an individual Apple ID without losing any content. You can do this with Family Sharing. The article below provides details about the feature which will allow you to share purchases between family members, create shared photo albums and much more.
Family Sharing
Cheers!

I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music. The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages. Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?
Yes.

TS4006 can you have multiple phones on same user email
can you have multiple phones on same user email
If you mean can they share the same iCloud account, yes. Just be aware that when multiple devices share the same iCloud account, any data they sync with the account will be merged and the merged data will appear on all of the devices. Also, any action taken on one device (such as adding or deleting contacts) will also be taken on all other devices sharing the account. Finally, the iCloud backups of all the devices will share the same iCloud storage space.

Multiple phone hookup question.
How do I hook up multiple phones to a new digital voice installation?Can i just plug into my old phone system input bus?
There can be several ways to connect the eMTA to the inside phone wiring.
First step is to make sure the old telephone service is disconnected. This is normally at the NID, network interface device, the gray box on the side of the house. Unplug the small phone cord from the jack in the NID, and mark it so it will not be connected back by accident.
Once the inside phone wiring is disconnected from the old incoming ILEC service, it is safe to hook the eMTA to the inside phone wiring. Usually the eMTA is installed in a room that has a existing phone jack connected to the inside phone wiring in the home. Take a standard phone cord, plug it in the phone jack in the room and the other end goes to the L1/L2 jack on the eMTA telephony modem. That feeds the jacks in the home to the talk battery voltage on the eMTA and supplies your dial tone and ringing voltage to all phones connected in the home.
Special wiring needs to be done when there is a alarm panel in the home, normally the Comcast installer does this. If the room that the eMTA doesn't have a phone jack, then a inside wire needs to be installed to connect the eMTA to a different point where there is access to the inside phone wiring in the home. -
