UNPAIR PHONE NUMBER WITH IMESSAGE ON COMPUTER

Hi,
I have a macbook pro and a few months ago i paired my phone number (I have a blackberry)  with my computer which means that each time someone who possesses an Iphone and has Imessage on, sends me a message I receive it on my computer which is quite annoying since I don't usually go walking around in the streets with a computer that has no access to WIFI.
Has anyone arleady achieved to unpair a phone number from imessage ?
Many thanks !

Look at Messages preferences / Accounts to edit what can be used to recieve messages.

  • How to merge phone number with imessage on 10.8.2

    i updated to 10.8.2 and i had already been using imessage on 10.8.1 and before. i went to imessage and there is no option or alert or anything to add my phone number to it. i use the same apple id on my iphone and receive imessages at both my apple id email address and phone number. i have tried signing out, deleting all my messages, ive tried signing out restarting my macbook pro and signing back in, still nothing. any way to manually set it up or refresh the account?

    Well, try as I might, and despite the publicity and hype around this and 'It just works' for me it just doesn't.  I updated the phone and ipad to IOS 6, MacBook to 10.8.2 and no matter what I do, how many log ins and outs the ipad and the Macbook ONLY give me the option to use one of two email addresses.  No phone number option is anywhere to be seen.  I did rather expect that I would just actvate imessage on the iphone and then do so on the ipad and macbook, merely having to select the number as the methof of contact, or even having it there as the default.  Too much to ask I suppose!! I find I spend far more time trying to get Apple innovation to work than I ever did with Windows to be honest!  I also tried entering the phone number many times and go many 'verification sent' only to receive squat.
    Sick and tired of trying to fathom this now so I gues I'll just leave it off rather than find myself back in the days of imessage confusion where some would go to a phone, some to an email, messages only being visible on certain devices depending on where they were sent - all the things that made imessage a complete PITA and far more trouble than it was worth.
    I hoped that maybe this would fix those problems.  Maybe it will, when I can invest the time in digging around the internet trying to get it to 'just work'!

  • Can i stop using my phone number for imessage

    i want to stop using my phone number with imessage, i cant because it is greyed out and its selected but i want to deselect it but i cant.

    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.

  • How do I register my iPhone telephone number with iMessage

    when i send an iMessager to my fellow iMessage iPhone users, it uses my email address and not my phone number.  So when my friends receive an iMessage from me, my message comes up under my email and not my phone number. 
    I've went into Settings, then Messages, and on this it states 'Receive At [my email address]'  whereas my freinds setting have both their phone numbers listed and their email address.
    Anyone know how to also register my phone number with iMessage?
    My number is saved in my apple / iCloud account, byt my Apple ID is my email address?
    Any help is appreciated.
    thanks!!

    I totally had the same problem as you two until about 3 minutes ago.
    So what I did was:
    1. Go to Settings > Messages, and turn iMessage to "off"
    2. Switch your phone off and then back on
    3. Switch iMessage back on, at this point my phone started to verify my phone number, and then it appeared along with Caller ID etc.
    Hope this solves your problem too.

  • I need to add a phone number to iMessage, how do I do this and link it with my account.

    I can not link a phone number to iMessage, when I send a message people see an email address and not phone number. How do I change this?

    Hi bamba,
    Open Messages on your Mac, click on Preferences>Accounts. At the bottom you will see "Start New Messages From" - click on your iPhone number from the dropdown.

  • If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    If you block a phone number in iMessage on the iPad, does it also block it on the iPhone?

    Depends on whether you are using the same iCloud account on the device, or if you are syncing Contacts via iTunes, if you are syncing both devices to the same computer.
    When you block someone, no matter which application you "launch" the block from (Messages, Phone, FaceTime) you are blocking the Contact. So, any app that uses that contact will see it as a blocked contact and will block any incoming activity to that app from that contact.

  • 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.

  • How do you disassociate a phone number from iMessage without disabling iMessage completely

    Hi there. I will soon be selling my current iPhone for another phone and want to remove the association between the phone number and iMessage so my girlfriend will send SMS messages to my phone from her iPhone instead of iMessages. Is it as simple as turning iMessage off in iCloud settings or does it go a bit deeper than that? I have seen a few stories on the forums of iMessages still being sent to sold or broken phones and don't want this to happen to mine.
    Cheers in advance.

    All you need to do is turn iMessage off in settings.  Also be sure to turn FaceTime off and delete your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud.    (Note: deleting the iCloud account only deletes it from the phone, not from iCloud.)
    Be sure to create a new backup before selling it.  To be save, create a backup both in iCloud and on your computer using iTunes (by clicking on Back Up Now on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings).  Then erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings, or restore it as a new iPhone.

  • How do i delete the previous owners phone number on iMessage on my iPhone 5?

    How do i delete the previous owners phone number from imessage in my iphone5?

    You did NOT erase all content in the phone if the previous owner's phone number is still associated with iMessage. Erasing all content will put the phone in an as new state, requiring activation, which you can NOT do without a SIM card. If the original owner did not remove their iCloud account and they had find my iPhone turned on, you would not be able to activate it at all without the credentials for the original owners iCloud account.
    Can you still contact whoever you got it from?
    If so, have them go through this process on the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If not... you may have been scammed.

  • What do I do if my phone wont connect to my phone number for imessage?

    so my phone is acting up and wont let me use my phone number for iMessage! what do i do?!!?!?!??!?!???!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Try this:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
    3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
    4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
    5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
    6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".

    Hey bill.rizzo2,

    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
