Why isn't my mobile number an option to use for imessage?

my iMessage & Facetime is working but its not giving my mobile number as an option to receive & send. Its only allowing my email address to be used & it keeps saying iMessage & Facetime unsuccessful activation turn iMessage on.

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • Why isn't my phone number an option for imessage?

    I just switched providers with my phone and for some reason, imessage stopped working for me, so I reactivated it and I can't see my phone # as an option, just my email. I tried every single thing possible, nothing worked.

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

    Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

    Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
    Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
    I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
    My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
    i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
    SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!

  • Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

    Why isn't there an English language option in Itunes 12?

    Press Ctrl-, (comma) to open the Preferences screen.  Select the General tab.  There's a Language selection drop down at the bottom of the tab - you can choose between UK and US English - as far as I can tell these are always items 9 and 10 in the drop down list, so you should be able to select the appropriate one no matter what the current language setting is.

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

  • How do I get my messages to come through on my ipad Via my mobile number? They always used to but I've had to change all my Apple ID if that has anything to do with it? In iMessages it will only take an email address!

    So, the upload time will vary on internet connection. If there is an issue with how fast it is uploaded you can check if prefetching is turned on, but this does not really affect uploading [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Controlling_DNS_prefetching Controlling DNS prefetching]
    If you search for solutions, you will see a bunch of tweaks as well that may be helpful to your specific computer. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]] to make sure you are all up to date as well.

  • Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Why isn't the App Store and iTunes a choice for an app on my mini?

    Either they've been moved to another home screen or dropped in a folder, in which case doing a search or resetting the Home Screen layout (Settings/General/Reset) should bring them up, or they've been turned off in General/Restrictions.

  • HT204053 I have one apple ID for purchases and then my mobile me ID where I use for email.  So I have set my cloud with my mobile me name, while keeping my purchases the original name.  Will my purchases be recognized as purchases when backup is finished.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    So long as you are logged into the iTunes Store, using the correct ID and password (settings >store), then you will always have access to your apps, books, music, TV shows etc etc bought via the iTunes Store on that account.

  • How can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

    how can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

    Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.
