Using imessage: 2 phone numbers in 1 iPhone

Hi,
I'm trying to receive messages from 2 iphones in only 1 of them and it seems to work (I used an apple ID associated with a phone number). Now what isn't clear is how does it work? So these are the settings I have:
in the send and receive option it looks like this:
You can be reached by iMessage at:
tick - 99999999 (grey)
tick - 11111111
tick - [email protected]
Start new conversations from:
no tick - 11111111
tick - 9999999
no tick - email
So,
1. does this means that I receive messages from both numbers?
2. When starting a new conversation it will be sent from 9999999?
3. when receiving messages it will always be sent as a reply to the number is was originally sent to?
Thanks in advance!

Can this be done on any Phone...
Perhaps you should investigate Call Forwarding... But it is probably not what you desire...

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup. This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Can I change phone numbers on an iPhone?

I just ordered an iPhone 5 for my wife. I want it for myself, but I'm not eligible yet. My wife is eligible, but she could care less what phone she uses. So can I change the iPhone 5 phone number when I get it so that it is my number instead of hers? And then would need to change my iPhone 4S from my phone number to her phone number. Is that possible and does it cause any issues with apps or anything like that?
Thanks in advance!

You would have to talk to the carrier about actually doing it, but it is certainly doable (AT&T can do it over the air if you just call them) if these are both numbers on one family or shared account. And no, the phone number will not affect apps or content - that is tied to your AppleID.
If you each have separate accounts it would be more complicated, as the numbers would have to be moved to different accounts. Again, doable, but honestly, I would prefer to go into my carriers (AT&T) corporate store to do it - that way you have them captive until you are sure it has actually been successfully done and both phones are actually re-provisioned and working with their new numbers.
If you have iMessage accounts associated with those numbers though, before you swap the numbers, select the AppleID in Messaging and log out. Then log back in (with the right AppleID) once the new number is programmed and it will re-associate the number with the right iMessage account.

Why would an iPhone using iMessage be able to send photos to another iPhone using iMessage but not to a third iPhone?

I'm using an iPhone 6+ to send photos to my sister using iMessage. She has an iPhone 5C. We both see "blue" backgrounds on our outgoing messages and grey on incoming messages. We both send and receive photos successfully. However, with another sister, using an iPhone 5, we used to be able to do same until recently. Now our backgrounds for outgoing texts are "green" and if we have a photo in the message we get ''Undelivered" message. I've taken screenshots of my iMessage settings and she claims hers match mine. Are we missing something?

We want your phone working just as well now as it did before your trip, sngbrd9. Are you trying to send the pictures to other Apple users using iMessage or are they being sent through MMS/picture messaging? Are you able to send pictures one at a time to those same contacts without an error? Did you change any settings in your camera to have HDR now instead of a slightly lower resolution with a smaller file size?

Is it possible to have two phone numbers ring one iPhone?

Is it possible to have two numbers ring one iPhone, in other words, a second line on the same phone?
Thanks.

You could get a Google voice account and have it forwarded to your iPhone (and other phones). This would effectively give your iPhone the capability of receiving calls to 2 different numbers and making calls from 2 different numbers. Although the Google voice capabilities on iPhone are somewhat awkward.

HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

A better way might be
Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

How do I get facebook phone numbers into my iphone contacts list?

I switched from a droid to an iPhone recently and with the droid all of my facebook contacts with phone numbers were synced into my phone and I can't figure out how to do that with my iPhone. I know that you can sync exsisting contacts with their facebook pictures, birthdays, etc but I want my facebook contacts into my phone without having to type in each number individually.

See if this helps: http://www.iphonestuffs4u.com/how-to-sync-facebook-contacts-to-iphone/.

Is there a way to use hyperlinks for phone numbers in keynote?

Hey all,
does anyone know if it is possibile to export phone numbers as hyperlinks in keynote (export format: pdf), so that my phone directly dials the number if I open the pdf and click on it. In other programs I can use "tel:+countrycodeandphonenumber" instead of the url in the hyperlink setup, but unfortunately that does not seem to work with keynote.
Best,
Hanna

Keynote provides for hyperlinks to slides in the currently used presentation, other Keynote files, web pages and to launch a pre-addressed email message. All other hyperlinks are prevented. Not sure why you would want to use a slide presentation application for such a task during a slide show.

The order of phone numbers changes in iphone

I list phone numbers in Contacts in the order that I want them to appear, but the oder changes once they are in the iphone. The contacts show up correctly on my computer and in Mobile Me but different on the iphone. I have the current OS on my phone.
For example, each person with multiple phone numbers there is usually an order of which number is best to reach that person. For some people the first place to try and reach them would be their mobile number, for business associates I might want to call them at work first before trying them at a different number.
Another example is my husband. I want our home phone on top, his regular mobile number listed next, and he has a back up mobile phone for emergencies. Annoyingly, the back up mobile number is what shows up on the iphone as his first phone number.
I've asked about this in my "One to One" appointments and they told me to check with Mobile Me. I checked the mobile me support and they say it has to be a iphone issue. I have had two different 3G iphones and both did this. I've tried to work around this by deleting the entire address book and then importing all fresh info and this doesn't help. It is also random, it is not consistently putting any particular group on top.
I would really appreciate a solution.
thanks

Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
Hope this helps

Sync to outlook doesn't copy phone numbers with type "iphone"

I noticed that outlook is missing many phone numbers that were added from my iPhone. I then realized the pattern was that the missing numbers all had been entered with the phone type of "iphone". Other types that match predefined Outlook categories (i.e. "mobile", "work", etc) seem to work ok.
I have a 3GS, all the latest updates, Windows 7 on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For all of you (us) that had this problem I have found the solution!!! After hours on the phone with Apple - who were very nice, but didn't have the solution - I found the fix on Google.
You need to export your calendar to a .pst file (save it on your desktop or in an easy file to find later). Once you have exported all calendar items you'll need to select 'view All Appointments' and then delete them. This clears your entire calendar - the source of the problem is one of the appointments getting corrupted somehow. Once the calendar is clear sync your iPhone with the 'replace all calendar items' selected in the Advanced section of Info on iTunes. This should completely clear the calendar on your iPhone as well. You can then add a test appointment to your blank calendar in Outlook, sync regularly and it should appear on your iPhone. Once that test is done and things are working correctly, import your .pst file back into Outlook, restoring all of your valid appointments. Sync again and voila!
It took me the better part of two days, troubleshooting and searching to find this and hopefully this helps solve your issues as well.

Can I switch phone numbers between two iPhones?

I have ordered a 3GS, replacing my wife's 2G model. She will now get my 3G model. Do we have to change phone numbers or is there a way to move my 3G number with the 3GS and vice versa. It would be much better if that was possible.

I also wish to switch phone numbers between phones. I just got off the phone with AT&T customer support. You can handle this over the phone. Need to have the two phones in hand at the time. I got through to customer support today with less than one minute on hold. I was quite surprised. AT&T must have really staffed up for the release.
