TS4268 My iPhone says that I cannot be contacted by my phone number on imessage

I got a replacement iPhone today and under iMessage in settings my phone number is greyed out where it says how I can be contacted, anyone know how to fix this?

I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Ok, it sounds like you are getting to the final step. (i.e., Your on your iPhone, showing a good Wi-Fi connection, you are using the App Store and have selected the App you want. The small Icon for your App is showing a bar at the bottom that has an open "fill bar" that is going to track the download and installation of the App. But at this point you get an Error Message. The Error Message Says, "?????" Try again latter? What?
Just for fun, try downloading the App while you and your iPhone are as close to the Wi-Fi Router as possible. Lets see if you are just experiencing a weak Wi-Fi signal. This can cause App Downloads to fail.

My iPad says that it cannot contact the App Store.

My iPad says that it cannot contact the App Store. I am trying to down load a free app. I tap FREE and it says INSTALLING. I never get a challenge for my Apple ID or PW. After about 15 or more minutes it says CANNOT CONTACT iTUNES STORE. I tried turning off the cellular comms and just using the WiFi (with my ADSL ). Is the store down? I can down load onto my iPhone with no trouble. Please help.

OK the reboot (power down, restart, unlock SIM with PIN) has solved the problem. Funny how talking to someone, even no-one helps to solve a problem. I believe it forces the problem into the brain's cognitive centre.

Every time I ask Siri to find something near me, she says that she cannot find my location, and to turn on my location settings and siri settings. These are both on and after rebooting it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

Yeah me too try going through the apple website in (firefox) and download iTunes there. Currently that's what I'm doing.
