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".

My phone wont connect to interweb (im paying for) unless i connected to a public or home wifi

Like my title says i cant use my data im paying for. the way i can use the intereb is from a public wifi

No one has an idea what phone you have. Generally, for things like this, people recommend trying these steps:
1). power down the phone
2). remove SIM card
3). wait 5 minutes
4). re-insert SIM
5). power back up the phone
with WiFi off, yes, you should be able to browse the web via the cellular connection. If you have WiFi on, and you are connected to an access point (router), it should default to using that radio to browse the web...
If the steps above don't work for you, you may have to either:
1). call VZW and have them check your account. tell them that you did the above and it didn't work.
2). go into a CORPORATE VZW store and request a new SIM card be installed in your phone (and don't leave the store till they verify operation works for you).

My iphone 5 is in disabled status but when going through the recovery process it asks for the SIM pin but I cannot access the screen as the phone wont connect to the activation server not the screen to unlock the SIM. What do I do?

That's usually a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

What does this message mean baring in mind we don't know who 'Lareib' is?: ''Lareibs phone' is now using (my number) for iMessage'

How would we users in this forum also know who Lareib is?

TS1398 On holiday in Spain, my phone wont connect to wi-fi at my friends apartement but connects to some wi-fi locations in the city. The rest it tells me that "Unable to connect" even though i know the password is correct and my ipad connects.

On holiday in Spain, my phone wont connect to wi-fi at my friends apartment but connects to some wi-fi locations in the city. The rest tells me that " Unable to join the network" even though i know the password is correct and my ipad is connected.
I have tried resetting network connections and switching on/off wi-fi, and also reset using home and top button, still nothing.

Try going to the Wifi settings and clicking the little arrow next to your network, and click "forget this network" then try re-connecting. If that doesn't work, try going to settings-general-reset and clicking reset network settings. Also, make sure you have your network password correct if there is one.

I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information

I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information (it just shows a blank white screen with "iphone" in the centre".

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

They will be gone from the iphone, but you should be syning all contacts to your computer regularly and should be importing all pics to your computer regularly, particularly before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

how do i change the phone number for imessages?
i have set up an iTouch for my 10 year old son. To set up iMessaging between him and his parents i used my iTunes account but this picked up my phone number..........i now need to change this but cannot see how to do it in Settings. Any suggestions?

Thanks, but i guess this means i have to create an email address for my son and hs own apple id?
My aim is to link his mobile number to the iTouch but not to give him his own iTunes account....

How can i use my phone number for imessage on my macbook pro?

I have been trying to sync my iMessages between my iPhone 4s and my macbook pro but it will only use my email. I have been told to change the setting in the message menu but I can't seem to find that! Help me please!!!
Thank you!

TRy to check on your imessage setting on your iphone. It should be setting>messages> imessage. If you can see your phone number then your mac will be able to see your message. If not toggle the message on and off. Once activated your mac will ask you if you would like to use your number for imessage, click agree(0r yes) then you will also receive a message on your iphone that your mac started using your phone number for imessage

I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

You need to change your Apple ID password. You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

HT5624 Someone is using my phone number for iMessages

I had a alert come on my phone. It stated that " (name) is using your number for iMessages." I went onto my Apple ID and reset my password. How do I know if there still on my iMessages. ?? Please help.

It maybe a little late to reply to this but have you ever logged on to iTunes using a friend's computer? if so they maybe using that to send messages if you didn't sign out... But my guess is you no longer have that problem since you changed your password?
