IPhone :: No Option To Choose Mobile Number In IMessage And FaceTime
May 20, 2012
I just got a iphone 4s and am having problems with my imessage. I can turn it on using my apple id but my mobile number does not appear anywhere for me to choose it as an option. I keep getting "waiting for activation." The same thing is happening with facetime. I don't have the option to choose a mobile number.
My phone won't let me send messages using my number only emails and I want to send them using my number, in send and receive only emails are showing and not my number
I am a iphone 4 (OS 5.1.1) user with the device being bought from UAE but using in Saudi Arabia. I cannot see the option facetime or iMessage anywhere in my phone and settings. I searched a lot of threads on google but none helped me. How do I use facetime?
I have a factory unlocked (by AT&T) phone and I'm using it on T-Mobile US and iMessage and FaceTime won't work. iMessages won't send to the email that is supposed to work, and my phone number is greyed out. But they apparently activated (I got a bunch of stupid charges from the international text!) so $$$ is not the problem. Also, it's not jailbroken or anything.
I'm having bigtime problems with my facetime and iMessage.. First of all, I got my iPhone 4s unlocked through AT&T, but now I'm stuck with my old AT&T number.. It's my old number, under the "caller ID" in facetime and in iMessage, and it won't allow me to change it...So now I can't recieve any facetime calls and any imessages....
This has been a problem posted by several people. Below I have a list of solutions that other people have posted and tried. While these solutions have worked for other people, they have not worked for me. When I moved abroad, I got a new SIM card and phone number. However, the number displayed under Facetime and iMessage is still my AT&T number and not my new, local phone number. I can send and receive Facetime & iMessage through my Apple ID, but not through my phone number. When I had originally put the SIM card in, the number under Settings > Phone said "Unknown" and I was able to edit it to be my new number. That did not change the number listed under Facetime.
Solutions which have NOT worked (some of these have worked for other people, so if you are also having this issue, you can try these solutions as well):Restoring phone (from backup, and restoring as a new phone; when I restore phone as a new phone, the old number disappears but the new number does not replace it)Clearing all settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)Clearing network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings)Power cycling (Hold the circle button and the power button down together until the phone turns itself off. Also have tried by first turning off Facetime & iMessage before the power cycle.)Turning Facetime & iMessage off, then back on (Settings > Facetime and Settings > Message. Also have tried logging out of Facetime before turning it off.)Turning off Date & Time > Set Automatically and then turning it back on?
I can not activate iMessage and FaceTime over PhoneNumber waiting for activation after 24 hours to yesterday i have become a ams with reg-resp. and numbers

I was wondering if there's a way to choose which email address to link with iMessage?
I want to talk to some people on iMessage but don't want to give away the email I use for my iTunes account etc, I'd rather use a less private one. Is it stuck as the same as my iTunes or can I change it somehow?
I upgraded my 3Gs phone to a 4 while away on a trip. I synced with Icloud and have been happily using it. Just plugged it into my computer and am not sure what option (set up as new Iphone or Restore from back up) I need to choose and why.
I have an HTC Desire and i have downloaded som themes to my mobile. But i have no idea how to change them to my theme on the mobile. I would like to have an cool theme but i cant change it. I cant ven find were all themes are on my mobile.
I set the homescreen on my S2 but every time I press the square button the option returns and I cant find a way of deactivating it. I kill the app but this does not resolve the issue and neither does wiping the phone and starting again.
I have an N8 which has 3 options for network mode - dual mode, 3G or GSM.I have absolutely no idea what any of these mean or what to select !The reason for my question is that I had to put my sim card into another phone for a couple of days and now I've put it back I cannot send texts or make any calls - I can receive them and get on the internet but that's it so I was wondering whether the network mode option has any effect?
The demo for this phone on the support page indicates I can manually choose which network I am using, however, my actual phone does not have that menu item. The problem I have is when the phone locks me into GPRS, it becomes a virtual paper weight. It works great if I can get it to lock onto Edge by walking around enough. I want to be able to manually choose Edge. Why can't I do this?
I have always assigned my left convience key to lock my screen. After updating to 545 I have lost the option to even choose the keypad lock opt. Does neone know where this went? I updated with the official not the beta. Also I notice volume adjustments while on a call is not precise when lowering or raising.
facetime and imessage is not connecting to my friend as it worked before. now again it is not connecting. other than reset the setting is there any option to make it work cos reset the settings didnt work for me?
The mobile number entered for facetime and imessage in 'verifying' state for ever. It also charged 3-4 times for international sms but still my mobile number is not activated for imessage and facetime. This service is not available for India.
