Wrong phone number when i text others

I just recently changed my phone number, and when i text certain people it shows my old phone number. What can i do about this? Has anyone ever had this issue??

Are these regular SMS or iMessage? If iMessage, then you need to go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn iMessage off. Wait a few moments and then turn it back on. It should activate with the new number.

TS4062 new iphone lists wrong phone number when trying to sync with itunes

I received my new iphone 4s in the mail and when I try adding it to my itunes for syncing the wrong phone number shows up. The phone works and the number is correct but the one Itunes recognizes is a different number.

I received the phone by mail. I had ATT activate it with my old phone number I had on a blackberry. Everything works fine. The number under settings>phone> my number is the correct phone number.
It's when I try to add this phone to Itunes with a USB cable, itunes recognizes a different number. So i'm guessing the sim came with that number and when ATT activated the phone with my correct number, that this number is still in the phone memory somehow.
At ATT they say the phone is fine. My new number is recognized and works properly. It's just that when adding it to my itunes the new number is not recognized on the initial setup screen.
I'm not even sure this matters but itunes recognizes this phone with a different number than the one that works.

I am having the same problem.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:

I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
Regards.

Can't "prepend" a phone number from a text, document or website?

When the Pre recognizes a phone number in a text message, e-mail, document or website, it allows you to click on the number to call it. Great so far. Unfortunately, once you do so, and completely arbitrarily, the phone won't let you make any edits of any kind to the phone number except to add or delete from the end of the number. Every phone I've ever had has allowed me to "prepend" a number (to, for example, add an area code). More to the point, there is simply no good reason for the Pre to prevent me from making whatever edits I want to the number. I should be fully able to hold down the orange key and move the cursor anywhere that I want within the number and then make edits, just like I can when I enter a number manually. Unfortunately, for no apparent good reason, the phone allows no edits of any sort to any number I've clicked on from another source.
Can anybody suggest a workaround, or do is this just one of those bizarre "what were they thinking" type things I have to live with?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yeah, and I can also copy and paste the number instead of just clicking on it, but both solutions completely and entirely defeat the whole purpose and convenience of being able to simply click on a number in another source to dial it. I don't want to have to add numbers I'm going to be calling only once to contacts just to make small changes before I dial them, and then have to delete them from contacts when I'm done. There is a reason that users can simply click on phone numbers in documents and texts to dial them, and that is convenience. Not being able to make simple edits kills off some of that convenience. Workarounds like adding to contacts or cutting and pasting kill almost all of it.

how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

Lost my phone number when switching to Sky BUT can...

Lost my phone number when switching to Sky BUT can I get it back if I switch to BT line rental?
Hi, my elderly parents switched to Sky FROM TalkTalk for their phone & BB several months ago and between TT not wanting to release the number ( I believe) and Sky wanting the money the switch went ahead even tho` Sky assured that if there were any probs the trans` would be halted.. Yeah pigs fly..
I know that this prob is between the evil twins but I have read that if the line was transfered to BT then the number could be recovered?
I have been told by TT that the number has been given back to Openreach and it is now not possible for them to re-activate it so Sky could then transfer it to them.
I have spent several months (on & off) many phone calls and emails/letters to try and resolve this..
Is this possible or have I been fed another load of untruths?
Could my father wait until he is out of contract with Sky and switch to BT if BT can recover his number?
I know that a diff number seems trivial but they are both getting on and keep forgeting they have a new number ( they had the number for 30+ years)
Any advice MUCH appreciated.. I had hair before all this happened

Its one of the risks you take, when you change service providers. Its a common problem which has been mentioned a number of times on this forum.
Service Providers like to keep you as a customer, and can make it very difficult for you, even though they are not supposed to.
Sometimes there are technical reasons why a number cannot be retained, especially if its a provider with their own exchange equipment and core network.

T he general concensus to fix this is to turn off Facebook and iMessage for a couple of minutes. Then turn them back on again and it seems to get them activated.

What shows under Settings>Messages>Send & Receive>Start new conversations from? Is your number ticked rather than your email address?

Why do I need to provide my phone number when purchasing Lightroom?

I've never had to provide my phone number before on any other platform which I've ordered other products on. Why do I need to provide such a personal information to Adobe?

I can think of two reasons:
1) A phone number is typically asked for when purchasing via a credit-card so the card can be validated.
2) So Adobe, at some point in the future, can call you to set up a remote session with your computer as part of a technical-support issue resolution..
