Using iMessage after changed phone number

I have recently changed my phone number (i am still using iPhone 4 with the new ios7.4), and my iMessage and facetime stop working, I have tried to restart the phone and signed in again with my apple ID, initially it detected the new phone number, but when iMessage turned on, it changed back to the old number again, I have tried turn on and off iMessage, turn and off iphone but it still doesnt work, is there anything I need to do specifically to ensure my iPhone recognised my new number?

Hey, thanks for the reply :-)
it is possible here in Austria to merge 2 phone number on 1 sim card, so there i have A as main number and B as sub-number.
right now, i'm having only company number in the list at iMessage and my private number is gone. Is it possible, to enter my private number there manually?
hope that everybody understands it
SIM A Company Nr.
SIM B Private Nr.
->
SIM A Company Nr. (Main) + Private Nr. (Sub.)

Block number in imessage by changing phone number?

Obviously I cannot block someone through imessage. I blocked them from calling or texting me through Verizon. BUT, if I change my mobile number, will that work? Currently, in my settings, the only way I can be reached through imessage is my phone number. So if I change that, will it work? I know my phone number is still associated with my Apple ID so I am a little confused. Any help is greatly appreciated!

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.

IMessage not working with ONE contact after changing phone number

Ok.. I changed my phone number Friday night. (same device) Once I restarted my phone and programmed it (*228) everything was working fine except one contact with iMessage. Since Friday night just one contact will only go through as SMS message. My other imessage users are all going back and forth as blue. This person I am having the problem with is also sending and receiving imessages with other contacts, just to me it is going through as text as well. Any help? I've shut iMessage off and on a bunch of times, turned the phone on and off... nothing seems to be working.. Any advice would be great!

I have the same trouble with one of my contacts and I have been using my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd generation) for a while. I hope we can get a solution.

2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID. Just got iPad mini, want to use iMessage with my phone number, but iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to default to other number?

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

FaceTime (after changing phone number)

Hi there,
I bought an iPhone 4 on launch day, used FaceTime and worked fine. However I have since changed my number with my mobile network, now people cannot FaceTime me.
If I FaceTime them though it shows up with my old number and if they then try to FaceTime my old number it works! Very confusing I know.
Is there a way I can get this so it knows to FaceTime my new number?
Thanks

I think I have found the answer for this problem it worked for me I copied this from another website so thanks to him!!
Sometimes you might have the wrong number showing under the field "My number" and the field is not editable.
This might be either because you have ported your older number from a different network (via PUK code) to a new one or that you have changed sim
Do the following to correct this:
1) Switch of Wi-FI and make sure you get 3G receptiion
2) Switch off Facetime and for few seconds
3) Go to phone under settings and you should have the correct number
4) Switch facetime back on by entering your iTunes credentials
Hope this helped some of you

HT5622 I had this pop up: Add (phone number) for Facetime and iMessage. This phone number was associated with AppleID on iPhone. I havent used it or done anything. What does this mean? Is someone using my ID and do they have my pasword.?

If it isn't from something you did (like update iOS on an iPhone, or activate a new iPhone), then yes, I would be suspicious.

How do you combine iMessage sent to phone number and email?

I talk to someone who sends me imessages to my phone number from their phone, and also from their ipad to my email. Both phone number and email are under the same contact. But the mesages go into 2 different threads. Id like to combine them since being under the same contact they show up exactly the same in the messages list.. so i cant tell if im messaging the ipad or the phone..
ideally id like to write a message to that contact and it would go to both their ipad and iphone...
anyways.. how do I combine them?

This is possible and you can also send and receive iMessages to your MacBook from one phone number without having to use any email address whatsoever. This also means you will have one chat thread with all of your messages not two.
Anyone will tell you that I am a hardcore Apple Fan, however, sometimes they lack in the instructions area. For a while now I have had a problem with iMessages being sent from my MacBook. I could send an iMessage from my phone with no problem and my friend would receive it from my phone number however, the problem would arise when I would send a iMessage from my MacBook to to the same friend and a new thread would be created, so in essence she would have two different messages for me, one from my phone number and one from my email. After numerous attempts of contacting Apple Customer Service with no avail, I eventually figured it out on my own. I did aggrate some friends because I had to send messages relentlessly. In the end I found a solution and here are the instructions.
You’re going to go into iMessage on your computer, go to messages in the top left, click on preferences and then click on accounts. Look under “you can be reached for messages at” you should see your email and or your phone number.
If you do not see your phone number you need to add it to your account at this site. “https://appleid.apple.com/” click on manage your Apple ID and then sign in. After you sign in you will go to another screen and on your left you’ll see a list of choices click on phone numbers. Add your phone number and click save changes. It usually takes a few seconds for your iMessage account to update. Completely quit iMessage in the toolbar and then reopen it and go back into messaging preferences and then accounts.
After that has been done your phone number should now be added to the “you can be reached for messages at” section. Click on your phone number and then uncheck your email address.
Then go into your iPhone settings, messages, then scroll down to send and receive. Uncheck any email, only your phone number should have a checkmark, if your phone number does not have a checkmark... check it. You should receive a pop-up on your iPhone saying so-and-so’s MacBook is now using “insert phone number here” for iMessages.

If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

Can't activate iMessage for my phone number.

Help Please!!!

Hello,
For iMessage activation issues, please follow these steps via this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
If your issue still happen after that, you will need to contact the Apple Support in order for them to investigate further.

Both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number

both of my mac pro are using the same messanger phone number how can i changed

If they are both using the same iMessage Apple ID, they "belong" to the same person, so it makes sense that they be addressed together. To use different phone numbers, assign them different iMessage Apple IDs associated with different iPhones. Alternatively, set one to "listen" to the phone number and the other to "listen" to an email address.
