Transferring phone number from an ATT plan that is not under your name

Currently my phone is being paid for under a family plan with AT&T. Would it be possible to transfer the number that I am using under this plan before the contract is up and put it on an iPhone with me being the sole owner of the contract and no longer under the family plan?

Good questions for AT&T customer service which you should call to confirm any information provided here.
You should be able to transfer this number to a new account that you acquire under your name for the iPhone along with a new 2 year contract for the iPhone but if this Family Plan is not under your name, I'm fairly certain the person who is responsible for this Family account must be involved with the process.

  • 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.

  • Transferring phone number from AT&T to Verizon

    So I'm a previous AT&T customer and just activated my iPhone 4S with Verizon this morning.  I am still not able to receive texts/calls from anyone that is not a Verizon customer.  Is this normal for transferring a phone number into Verizon?  I have activated my phone 4 hours ago.
    Thanks for any info.

    It's been a while since I switched to Verizon from AT&T, but that doesn't seem normal and I know I didn't have that problem. It'll probably be a pain in the neck, but you might want to call customer service.

  • 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.

    Hi Ktchast,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    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.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    I lost my I phone 4 , how to track it's imei number from the apple id that  I used in that lost iPhone

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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 an old phone number from iMessage

    I have an old iphone 3GS that has been upgraded to IOS5 and I am letting my son use.  He is loving the iMessage, however there is one problem - the phone number that used to be associated with that 3GS is still associated with the iMessage settings and so whenever I iMessage my wife at that phone number (or anyone else for that matter), he also gets the message.
    I have added in his email in the "You can be reached for messages at:" settings option, but I cannot delete the phone number.  Any idea how I can get the phone number removed from the iMessage settings?  I want him to be able to send / receive iMessages via his email address - not the phone number that belongs to my wife.
    I did try removing the sim from the phone, but that didn't work.
    Thanks

    Simply reset your Apple ID password by going to iforgot.apple.com
    This will reset your iMesasge too.
    I've tried all other methods and this is the only way that works.

  • 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!
