OBSERVATIONS
I do see phone number under Settings | Messages | Send & Receive | YOU CAN BE REACHED.... on both phones selected,
however, it is grayed out unlike email addresses below
I have an iPhone 4 my wife has an iPhone 4S both of us are on 5.1 I have been iMessaging her for months and after an unsuccessful iMessage yesterday I am unable to use iMessages with her. I get the blue send button for all of my other iOS users but the button remains green for her messages. I have logged out and back in to iMessaging and have SMS turned off and I've cycled the power on my phone
iMessage is not working to my husband number. We both have the iPhone 4 on orange network but when I select to send him a message to his phone number it only ever sends as a text message, not iMessage. I can send as iMessage if I select his email address instead or if I respond to a message from him.
Basically, my iphone has been stolen and I did not have 'Find my Phone' downloaded beforehand. I think I might have found someone trying to sell it, after a long time researching and I was wondering if there is anyway of identifying it. I therefore was wondering if the IMEI number, serial number or the part number was specific to the phone as I still have the box with these on.
I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 when it was released. My friend updated his iPhone 4S delayed, yesterday. Before yesterday iMessage worked well between our iPhones.But since my friend updated to iOS 5.1 as well, iMessage does not work anymore between our two iPhones.iMessage works well with all other adresses we both use as well. But only our two iPhones cannot use iMessage anymore.
i've got 2 Phones, 1 company and 1 private phone - means 2 different Numbers. I've now merged the private phone number now into the company Sim Card, so I've got only 1 phone now instead of 2. The main number is now the company number, but i wanna keep my OLD private number with iMessage, etc.Â
Just last night my blackberry stopped sending texts to one specific number in my phone, it comes up with a message "network out of order". I have swapped my sim, used my sim in another phone, updated my software, swiped my phone completely and reset the host routing table so I don't know what else I can do to rectify the problem?
On last month I changed my iphone 4 to 4S, after the change I noticed that I can't receive imessages using my phone number, only my apple id was there at "Receive at" field.What should I do to solve this?How can I put my phone number back there?This is happening with Facetime too. But on Facetime the phone number has a "Verifying" status.
After returning from holiday, my imessage no longer works unless it is through email, which I dont like. I have tried loads of options and nothing has worked.
I registered the iMessage once with my old number on different country and now i came back to my own country and wanted to change my number but its unable for me to change it ! i can only change my Email addresses ! Is there any way to change it without reseting my network setting !?
After upgrading to iOS 5.1 , my imessage have stopped showing my phone number and shows my email address instead. It is NOT verifying my phone number. Does anyone know how can I get the iphone to show my phone number?
When I send iMessages, it just appears from my email address, not from my phone number. When, I go to settings > messages, I can only "Receive At" xxxx @ email .com as well, there is no option to add a phone number. How can I make myself available to be "reached for messages" at my phone number instead of (or, in addition to) my e-mail? I also have an iPad. iPhone is running 5.1.
I talk to someone who sends me imessages to my phone number from their phone, and also from their ipad to my email. Both phone number and email are under the same contact. But the mesages go into 2 different threads. Id like to combine them since being under the same contact they show up exactly the same in the messages list.. so i cant tell if im messaging the ipad or the phone..
ideally id like to write a message to that contact and it would go to both their ipad and iphone.
My wife and I both have iPhones and using iOS 5.1.1 We text routinely throughout the day. I randomly recieve her texts in two different threads, when I go to the top of the thread and click "Contact>" one of them highlights her phone number as the source and the other highlights her email address as the source. On her phone it all appears as a single thread with me, but when I send a text to her it I have to send it in both threads to make sure she gets it, she will only get one of them and I have no way of knowing which one she will get at any given time. Does anyone know why it switched back and forth? It isn't tied to WiFi vs 4g as far as we can tell, we both get the normal blue vs green to indicate SMS vs iMessage.
In case that was confusing, here's an example. If she sends me a text I always get it in one of the two threads, no issue. If I respond to something she just texted me in the same thread, she gets it. Again, no problem. If I send her a text a few hours later in only one of the two threads, she may or may not receive it. To make sure she gets it I send it in both, she only gets it once, and if she responds I know which one her phone is currently on.
How do u change the registered phone number on iMessage on iPhone? It still shows old number even after a reset and the number is grayed out. I have waited for the change to happen (imessage off), but it still didn't change. I pulled the sim out and waited, but still no change. I am using an iphone 4s and OS 5.1.
I have an iPhone 4S, and just bought a new Android phone.A fair chunk of my family uses iPhones, iPads, and iPods, so I was planning on keeping the iPhone for iMessage and Facetime. However, my texts from said family (at least the ones using iPhones) are being sent as iMessages to the iPhone, instead of my new phone.I'm wondering if there is a way to disable iMessage/FaceTime on my iPhone for the phone number, but leave it active for the email addresses. or any other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do.?
My iMessage shows up as my email address and not my phone number. When I got to settings messages it has my number but you can't change it. The email address is highlighted and number is grey. how do you change it
I recently upgraded my iphone 4 for an iphone 6 and we decide to let my niece have the old iphone 4 with our account set up so that she can have the apps that we have as well. Now, I am able to deactivate iMessage but I don't want her to "accidentally" turn it on and I noticed that if she were to do it she could select my phone number and start receiving iMessages addressed to my phone number. Is there a way to completely delete/remove my phone number only from that iphone?
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
Hi everyone. Hoping for some help with a bizarre issue. I switched from an iphone 3gs to an android a few months ago, but when some (not all) friends w/ iphone's text me, it tries to send it as an imessage from their phones. I don't receive the texts for hours at a time. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Or is on their end? This has even happened with people who I have exchanged numbers with well after I made the switch from iphone to android which I find particularly weird.
