Updating phone number associated with iCloud keychain

I am trying to set up iCloud keychain and it will only keep saying it will send a code to an old UK mobile number that I do not have. I have checked in my Apple ID and my current phone number is listed as the only number with my account, how do I get keychain to acknowledge my current US cell and forget an old UK number?
many thanks

Hi there totalblonde,
It sounds like you need to update the phone number associated with your iCloud Keychain. You should be able to update that with the steps outlined in the following article:
Get help using iCloud Keychain
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

I need to change the phone number associated with my iCloud account

I need to change the phone number associated with my iCloud account. My home phone is being used and I need to change it to my cell phone since I am not home during the day.

Do you not set the phone number within Apple ID

and not iCloud?
May be wrong here:(

Change phone number associated with apple id

Why can you not change the phone number associated with an apple id? I recently bought a new iPhone 5s and gave my 4s to my husband. When he put his sim card in the 4s, it seems like a message came up asking if he wanted to use that number for iMessage and I clicked yes never knowing it was going to change the phone number I have associated with my Apple id. He is not tech savy at all and we both share the same Apple id. I have always had my phone number associated with it and so when I get an iMessage it comes on my Mac computer, iPad, and iPhone--which I like. Now my computer and iPad only have his number with it and there is not an option to add my number back. My phone still shows my cell number associated with iMessage. I am afraid to update my phone in case it knocks me off of iMessage. I have tried the signing in and out of IMessage and Face time on my computer and iPad and that does not help. I just want to change the phone number associated with it.

You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

What should I do if I no longer have access to the phone number that my iCloud keychain verification code is sent to?

When I first turned in iCloud keychain I had no other Apple devises so I put in a phone number for it to send my verification number to. Then I had to delete that phone number but the iCloud keychain number is still saying it is going to send the verification number to that phone. How do I program in that that number is no longer active. Please help!!!!!

Hello Conor T,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you do not have access to the phone number you set up for iCloud Keychain, you will need to contact Apple Support to complete setup on a new device.
How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
If you can't access any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
Your iCloud Security Code
The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you can't access this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity, so that you can complete setup on your new device.
After you complete the setup, your iCloud Keychain will be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old

I changed out my old cell phone for a Motorola zoom and now the zoom has my old phone number associated with it's sim card. I just purchased a Samsung Android cell phone and would like to trade the sim from my new to cell to the zoom so I can have my old cell phone number back. The problem is the sim cards are different sizes. Is this something I can take to a store and get switched out?

SRCLARK,
Great question! You can go to the store and get a replacement SIM card at the store. Any corporate store will be more than happy to help replacing your card. http://bit.ly/3SdsA

How do I change the phone number associated with my Apple ID and messages on iPad

If you mean for iMessage and FaceTime, the number is based on the iPhone number you set up iMessage and FaceTime on. If that number is no correct, sign out of these services on both your iPhone and iPad by tapping the ID (in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime) and selecting sign out. Then sign in first on your iPhone and confirm that the phone number is correct. Then sign in on your iPad.

Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number.

How do you change the phone number associated with apple id

I bought my wife an IPad 2 and when setting it up it said I could change the phone number later in settings. Now when I get a text-- she gets a copy on her IPad. I can't see where in settings to change this to her phone number.

The phone number associated with an Apple ID is changed here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Click on manage my Apple ID and sign in. Then go to your profile and make the necessary changes.
But your question is a little confusing. Controlling which device receives texts and Messages is done in Setstings
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive from
Make the necessary changes there.

TS4268 How do change your phone number associated with iMessage on iPad?

when ipad was set up wrong phone number was entered for imessages and facetime. How do you edit or delete it and enter correct phone number?

I believe this would work except the phone number associated with ipad is not correct. If I follow these steps, the wrong phone number would be setup once again since the iphone's number used at the initial setup of the ipad is not the correct number.
Two different iphones:
Setup now: iphone B with ipad A
Need:iphone A with ipad A
Does this make sense?

Where can I find the phone number associated with my 3G iPad?

How do I find the phone number associated with my iPad? We'd like to sell it, so we want to cancel the 3G service, but the AT&T website asks for the phone number.

I don't have the 3G ... but is there a phone number? Can you make phone calls with it ... I was told there is not phone service from the iPad when I get my iPad1?
But did you check in
Toolbox -> Phone -> My Number
or
Toolbox -> General -> ????
That's where it is on my iPhone ... so maybe some variation of that on the iPad. Most likely somewhere under Network, the third box down in General?

You mean from your iPhone? Don't think this is possible.
