How do i use FaceTime and iMessage on Ipad and iPhone

I want to use FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone and Ipad with the same Apple account but also with eachother.
Is this possible?

Yes it is possible.
After you activate the apps on all of your devices with your Apple ID - you then have to add another email address at which you can be reached on all but one of the devices - and then remove your Apple ID email address as the contact address on those devices. You can keep the ID on one device as the address at which you can be reached.
It is really very simple to do, but this user posted this some type ago and it explains how to do it. You can also Google it and find other sites that explain it. But here you go ....

7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection. Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Using FaceTime and iMessage when connected to wifi - am I correct this is free and not charged by mobile supplier?

Using FaceTime and iMessage when connected to wifi - am I correct this is free and not charged by mobile supplier?

FAcetime and imessage uses internet connection. If you are turning it on only when you are connected to wifi then it is free. However if you leave it on and you are already away from the network then it will be using your data which is provided by your carrier. It will be costly then

How can I verify my phone number to use FaceTime and iMessage instead of email address!?

My iMessage and FaceTime are both working, but it still says "Waiting for activation.." right under both the FaceTime and iMessage settings. Under the "Receive At" setting, my email address is entered in. When I press on my email address, it takes me to a page shows my Apple ID, my email address, and in gray it says "Vertifying" with my phone number also in gray. I am currently out of the country and am using wifi for my apps, iMessage, FaceTime, and checking email. Why does it still say waiting for activation even though I can use everything fine?

I want that to be my last option if I need to. I don't want to delete everything and update everything back over. Are the finished with updating the severs? Last night I was unable to sign in using my Apple ID to use FaceTime or iMessage, but now I am logged in, but I can't verify my number. My iMessages are going through with my email instead of my number

Can't use facetime and iMessage with my phone number

I activted Facetime and iMessage on my iphone 4 ios 5 but the my phone number wasn't available . I can only use it with my email

Hello,
You wont be able to install the latest version of iTunes on this iBook.
The latest version of iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
The iBook will not install Mac OS X 10.6 or higher due to not having an Intel processor.
With this, you wont be able to sync and iPhone 4,4s or 5 running iOS 6 or higher

Apple id password incorrect to using facetime and imessage

I upgread to ios 6 and then i cant use my apple id to signin to face time and imessage.when i enter my apple id and password it says you username or password is incorrect
but im sure my apple id and password is correct .
I can sign in to app store with same apple id and password .

It should be required every 15 minutes.

So my daughter just bought an iPad mini I have my account set up for purchases and app downloads, I made a new email and verified it for her to use facetime and iMessage

As the question says. So I sent a text to myself from her ipad it then popped up her name with the message but then also my name. I am trying to make it so she can send texts out but I will not get them also. I don't have my number or email checked under send and receive but it is still sending to me. iCloud is disabled on her device. Any ideas?

Why not just create an Apple ID for her and then you wont have any problems. Login on iMessage and Facetime using her ID and do the rest with your ID. It will work i tried it on my iPad

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)
