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!

  • Why my phone number for showing up on iMessage

    why my phone number for showing up on iMessage

    Hi,
    Actually that is not true
    The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
    This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
    It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
    I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
    I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
    I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
    I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
    Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.

  • I cant get a number for my ipod on iMessage?

    I'm having troubles, I can't get a number for my ipod on iMessage. Like I send & receive texts from my email but I cant get a phone number. If I try to add it on the field it wont let me put it in. So what do I do?

    An iPod (and iPad) will only have a phone number for Messages (and FaceTime) if the same ID is used on an iPhone with iOS 6

  • Imessage sends messages from email despite selecting phone number for "start new conversations from"

    On both my phone and my computer I have selected to start new conversations from my phone number, but just now I continued a conversation from my macbook and it sent it from my email address instead of my phone number! All the other answers I found for this question were outdated, I couldn't find "Caller ID" in settings for iOS 8 or Yosemite.

    If this is a continuing conversation, I don't believe the device looks at it as a new conversation, which is what that setting is for, from what I understand. If there is a checkmark by the phone number on all devices, then it should start there, but if the conversation was originally started from the email, I believe it will continue until you start a new conversation.

  • Why has my iPad stopped using my phone number to send and rec iMessages?

    A few problems since IOS 7 came out. I updated my phone to this miserable IOS7 and now my ipad will not send or receive texts on my ipad. I also do not have the option of putting the phone number in when it was there before. What happened?
    I also can not text my sister after she switched back to android from iphone. My phone keeps defaulting to imessage. My ipad will not text her at all. (but that may be a thing about imessage not liking texting.) Which brings up what good is imessage if it will not send a text to someone? All my other devices, blackberry, samsung etc text between themselves regardless. Apple should allow imessage to realize it is not an apple phone and text to it.
    So, what is the deal?

  • HT3529 How do you register a phone number for sending imessages from an iPad 2?

    How do I add my cell phone number in iMessages so it is registered to send an iMessage to?
    Thank you

    First of all: Tell her to switch back to iPhone it's SOOO MUCH BETTER ! Anyway, try this:
    It should say "Receive at 2 addresses." Click on this, delete any unwanted phone numbers.

  • HT3529 why is the phone number for imessage grayed out

    When I sign in with my apple ID and then click next, it grays out the phone number and i'm unable to use it. I don't want to use my email but it won't let me have access to my phone number. Please Help! Thanks.

    OK, try this:
    Sign back out of Messages and reset the phone (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, go back into Messages and sign back in again, and go through the prompts.
    Once you are done, see if your phone number is checked off. It will be greyed out:
    Cheers,

  • Why is my phone number not showing up in iMessage?

    I have a MacBook running 10.8.2 and iMessage does not have my iPhone number as part of the account.  I'd like iMessages sent to my iPhone to also show up in iMessage on my MacBook.  How do I get my phone number to show up in my Apple account on my MacBook?
    I tried logging out of my Apple account on my MacBook, then logging out of the same account on iPhone, then disabling iMessage on iPhone, then enabling iMessage on iPhone and logging back into the Apple account, then logging back into the Apple account on my MacBook.  That didn't bring my phone number into iMessage on my MacBook.

    Actually that is not true

    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.

  • IDoc receiver AEE: Error "Configuration for Sender/Receiver Partner Number/Port is incorrect"

    Hi all,
    We are on PI 7.4 AEX SP 7. We are trying to get the following scenario working: Inhouse warehouse management system (JMS) --> PI --> ECC (IDoc)
    Sender is configured as 3rd party technical system system with business system maintained in SLD
    business system has logical system assigned in SLD
    adapter specific identifiers show logical system in ID / NWDS
    logical system is defined in receiver (ECC system)
    partner profile is created in ecc for this very logical system (inbound parameters)
    No mapping of EDI_DC40 node in ESB (complete node disabled)
    no header mapping in ID / NWDS
    receiver IDoc AEE adapter is configured to not enforce control record (Control Record in IDoc XML = Not Mandatory)
    no Identifiers specified in receiver IDoc AEE adapter
    My guts feeling is that this should work, however, it doesnt't. Failing with "The Configuration for Sender/Receiver Partner Number/Port is incorrect. Enter proper values in Sender/Receiver Component"
    Any thoughts are highly welcome.
    Cheers
    Jens

    Hi,
    The error mentioned by you is not related to the port..but its related to the Application ...
    IDoc 51 means idoc has been received in R/3 client and when it tries to process it ended in error..
    Check with the functional consultant for the error you have received..
