TS3367 How do I change the phone number in FaceTime on my iPad?
Somehow my daughters phone number is in my settings. I need to change to mine so that I can receive messages and FaceTime on my iPad how do you change it?
Hi Lori284,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can correct your phone number for FaceTime and iMessage by following this article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
First remove the existing phone number:
Additional Information
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Then, you can use the top of the article to activate iMessage and FaceTime on the iPhone that uses your correct number.
Cheers,
- Ari

How do you change the phone number in facetime
Just changed my new 4G phone number. I see in face time it still has the number that was originally assigned to it. How can I change that number in face time to my current number?
Did you register your phone using iTunes? Thats the way Apple associates your phone number to your Apple ID and FaceTime tracks users based on Apple ID.
For registering your phone in iTunes, connect it to iTunes as you would for syncing and then when the registration screen pops up, follow the instructions to complete the registration process. -

My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?
Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
If he does not have an ID then
Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card -
How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime
Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?
Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

How do I change the phone number of an original iPhone
My oldest daughter just got a new phone for xmas. She is giving her original iPhone to her sister (who's iphone was stolen) I erased the content, but how to I change the phone number to my younger daughter's #, which is still active.
I thought the data erase feature was only on the new G3's? We did think she had password lock on, which is why we figured it couldn't be returned. We thought whoever found it (she knows she lost it on the school bus, there were only two other high school girls on the bus at the time) couldn't get in to figure out who it belonged too...now we realized she had turned it off and someone actually "stole it" v. "found it"

How do I change the phone number attached to my Icloud? All the codes and stuff are being sent to my old number.
Hello Babyygrl23,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iCloud Apple ID has a phone number associated with it that you would like to update. If this is the case, after signing in to the linked website below, you will see a section on the left side of the screen labeled Phone Numbers. You can edit the phone number associated with that account from there.
Apple - My Apple ID
