When I go to "my Usage", why is my phone number sometimes as the number called ?

Did you ever receive an answer to your question here? I have the same issue and am looking for some explanation.
Thanks

I am getting my number as the only number called as well. Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

It's an advert from a (dodgy) website. Some advertisers use these rather unscrupulous ads.
All you can do to avoid such obtrusive advertising is to stop using the websites that do it. Maybe then they'll learn not to be so blatant.

Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
If so, contact your wireless carrier. That's a cellular connection issue.

Got this from another post. General>settings>network>reset. Then try. Worked for me. Good luck!

Why is my phone number greyed out with no check mark in Messages under Settings?

Why is my phone number greyed out with no check mark in Messages under Settings?

The number for the iPhone is grayed out but if no check mark under you can be reached by iMessage at, can you select the number below start new conversations from?

HT4528 Is it possible to buy an iphone for yourself at the apple store when you're using an upgrade from a different phone number on your plan?

I broke my old phone a few days ago, and my phone number doesn't have an upgrade until the summer of next year. My dad offered me his upgrade, since he doesn't need a new phone and it would save me a few hundred dollars. Is it possible for me to go into the Apple store and purchase a new iPhone when I'm using an upgrade from a different phone number? I already cleared it over with the people at Verizon, who told me I could switch the upgrade over online.

There are 2 issues here.
Some carriers REQUIRE a data plan in order to use an iPhone on their network. This requirement will vary from carrier to carrier. The iPhone is designed to be constantly connected. If you do not manually go in and turn off cellular data (not just 3G) The phone will attempt to connect to the Internet over the cellular data network. If you have your carrier specifically block these requests, you shouldn't be charged for them. If not, it could end up costing you lots of money you didn't expect. The other thing that will happen is things like visual voicemail will not work (if the carrier supports it to begin with) and you will get lots of messages about not being able to connect to cellular data if you're not in range of WiFi you can connect to. MMS messaging also will not work.
The second issue surrounds the statement: "use the iphone 4 with a standard cdma phone plan".
It is NOT possible to purchase an unlocked CDMA iPhone. ALL CDMA iPhones are locked to Verizon.

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.

Why is my phone number coming up as not valid (when it is!)?

I'm trying to order prints online, and every time I get to me phone number (which is auto populated from the apple account ID) it tells me it's not a valid number. I'm in the UK, so the number has 6 digits and it is correct. Anyone else had this and what on earth can you do about. I'm going to order from Photobox instead now but it would be good to know for the future as it was convenient ordering from apple (when we could previously on the old machine we had, using Tiger!)

It is a format issue - if you search the forums you can find solutions - basically use only numbers and try different formats until you find one that works - US numbers are formatted aaa-ppp-nnn - not sure how you fit 6 digits into that - is it possible to add more digits?

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

Why is my phone number grayed out in Facetime?

I dont get what happened with iOS6... but apparently I cannot use my phone number for facetime? As it is grayed out and I cannot check it off as the address to receive Facetime...
Also... I am now showing up in peoples phones as 2 contacts... one with my phone number and one with my email address... Why did this happen? how do i merge them?

I was simply asking why it is grayed out...
and why other people have me as 2 different cotnacts in their phones now... One my phone number, and a second contact as my email address... why dont they have me in one... and NO smartass they did not add me as a second cotnact... it happened on its own...
By chance, are you running a Mac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2? If so, I noticed something similar.... I now have my phone number and email address for use in Facetime and Messages. Maybe your user friends have not upgraded to iOS6, because both addresses only show in iOS I believe. iOS 5 only shows one or the other address.

When using iMessage from Mac it shows email, not phone number

When I text people from iMessage on my MacBook Pro it is showoing my email address, not my phone number on the reciever's end.
How do I fix this?

Hi Hannah_MS,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has information on choosing the address you start conversations from:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from:. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, a friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if you've selected new conversations to start from your phone number.
Cheers,
- Ari

Why cant select phone number for Send & Receive on iMessage

I want to select my phone number for send and recieve on iMessage but it is only letting me click my e-mail adresses. How do I go about solving this? It only happened when I switched over to the 5C from my 5 on iOS 7. Help!

On your Mac, start Messages > Preferences... > Accounts
Make sure your Apple ID is selected and enabled
You can be reached for messages at:
Your iPhone number is checked (Yes, it's grey out)

Why does a phone number not accept a shared photo invitation when

Why do phone numbers decline shared stream invitations when this option is turned on their phone and they have received and accepted other such invitations? Is this a phone provider issue?

I believe you need to share with Apple IDs, not phone numbers. That being said, you can create a shared site that you can share photos with people using a web browser. It's all explained in this article:

When opening a CS 6 doc, why aren't facing pages centered in the window?

It's driving me crazy that InDesign CS 6 opens facing-page documents, such as book chapters, with the spreads in erratic places: up, down, to the side, but seemingly never centered in the window! What's going on?

Peter, regarding your manual "replace preferences" method, I did that, and InDesign still moves the spread when it's re-opened (unless I adhere to Steve Werner's limitation of only using "fit in window" before I close it.) If for any reason I zoom out a bit while working, and save it that way, when the file is re-opened, it very much off-center, and cannot really be worked on until I pull it back to a quasi-centered position. I don't think I'm unusual in wanting to work on a spread that's approximately in the middle of my window. There's absolutely no reason for InDesign to move the position of the spread when it's re-opened. It's not a "feature request," as Steve Werner said, it's a bug... Plain and simple. And far from "honestly, I don't think most people notice," I respectfully disagree: I think people notice. I'm hugely appreciative of anyone who helps with these forums, don't get me wrong. Your input, and Steve's input helped me think through this problem. I now firmly believe it's an interface bug, and will request that Adobe fix it in a future release. Thanks again.
