Unlink phone number from Apple ID due to facetime

Apple ID used for many years shared by family. Bought many songs and apps to be used on wife and kids iphone ipod touches.  NOW with facetime I want to be able to remove my phone number from that Apple ID and create a new one JUST FOR FACETIME.  Keep the original id just for purchases; sharing apps with family. Problem is our ipads use the original id and seem to be assigned my phone number and email.  I do NOT want my wife and kids getting my facetime calls and texts!!  I have created the new id but cannot seem to remove my phone number from the old id.  DO I need to completely reset my iphone to do this?  Do I also need to reset the kids ipads?

Hi, Dranon. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps for removing your phone number from your Apple ID.  I also would recommend signing out completely of iMessage and FaceTime on any device that uses your Apple ID.
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.

  • Wipe my phone number from Apple imessage server

    I need to wipe my phone number from the Apple iMessage server to when I receive messages from iPhone users the message isn't parsed into 5 or more separate messages.  I turned off FaceTime and iMessages on my old iPhone 4

    If you deactivated iMessage already successfully, then your contacts who use iPhones will need to erase any existing conversation with you and start a new one - that should fix the problem with fragmented messages.

  • Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

    Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

    It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
    -Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous  posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

  • How do I de-register my phone number from Apple servers?

    I recently switched to an Android phone, specifically the Galaxy S III, and since then I can not receive messages from other iPhone users. I do not have access to my old iPhone anymore.

    Hi there, I also had recently switch from an Iphone to and Android phone and had the same problem. I used the Apple Support Chat and they got my messaging working again. You have to know your Iphone number, serial number and have a working email associated with your apple account. it took less than 5 minutes for the tech to remove my number from the apple servers/iMessage. Everything is working fine now. So happy!

  • How should i unlink a number from apple id

    This is what the previous owner needs to do:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
    Settings > FaceTime > Off
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

  • I accidentally removed my phone number from my iphone as a facetime contact for me. now my facetime won't work at all. Any ideas?

    I accidently unchecked my phone number as being a contact point for FaceTime on my iphone 4s. Now it just says that it is waiting for activation....
    Facetime worked yesterday, but not today, after I synced my new phone with itunes on my computer....
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • How to remove my phone number from iMessage?

    Hi. I recently gave up my iPhone to switch to a non-Apple device.  While I had the iPhone, my phone number was used for iMessage.
    Now when my friends using iPhone try to send me a message, it automatically select iMessage as Apple recognises my mobile number as an iMessage number even though I don't have an iPhone anymore.  Is there any way to remove my phone number from Apple's iMessage database?

    I have exactly the same problem. I ported my number to an Android phone, and kept my iphone to use as an Ipod touch. I have taken the sim card out, wiped the phone. put the sim card back in to restore and turned off imessage completely. Nothing works. Its like my phone number is stored on some Apple imessage server somewhere and any of my friends iphones automatically see my number as an iphone still and default to imessage. Then the messages they send are never received by anything. My only course of action is to ask them to turn their imessaging service off. It is deeply frustrating.
    I also tried to check if it was registered but it apparently never was (I had bought a refurbished iphone from AT&T). If I login to my apple profile their are no products registered.
    Apple needs to get this fixed pronto, because some of us are still customers even though we may have switched our phones. And I am not a very happy customer right now.

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    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.

    I just switched from IPhone to Samsung galaxy. now all my friends and familiy with Iphones that text me are not going through. How do I fix this

    Turn off iMessage on your old iPhone.
    Contact Apple Support at 1-800-MYAPPLE and request the Account Security team.  They can send a text message to your new device that is using the old phone number, and can unregister your phone number from your Apple ID/iMessage.
