How to Update Your Phone Number for iMessage and FaceTime

You can easily change your phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. You just have to make sure to turn off both iOS and FaceTime first.
Once you turn them off, you can access your phone number via iCloud and on the phone tab of the settings page.
Once you change your number, turn on iMessage and FaceTime and the new number that you added will reflect on iMessage and FaceTime.

Does iMessage in ipad only for apple users? I mean, you can only send messages to only apple users? I’ve been trying to use my # to be reacheable by iMessage but my sim # wont registered if i look back in iMessage, only my apple id appeared and nothing else.

I have a quick question, if you change your number, and want to get back to your old phone number, will the old imessages and everything else be saved?

[@dinacrosby3258]

I recently got a new number, everything pretty much works great. But when I text another apple user off iMessage, it comes up as my email instead of my number. Now usually you would just be able to go in settings, send and receive, then select your number instead of email, but the number that is in my send and receive is my old number and when I select it it goes grey with the loading circle at the side and after about 20 minutes it goes back to normal selecting my email. I need help setting the number in ‘send and receive’ to my new number

[@scyths8597]

help same. did it select for you or still not?

[@Miyuhduh]

did u ever figure it out?

[@henriettayakubu3384]

Did you figure it out

[@catherine4781]

i can't press my number and can't change

[@williammorgan1452]

Can you associate iMessage and FaceTime with a burner phone app number?

[@meerhajji381]

Hello friends, I’ve been having a problem with my iMessage for three weeks, I cannot activate it with my own number and it only works via email. Will the glitch get fixed if i remove my number and put it back. Also does removing number means you will lose all of your previous messages or not? Thanks for everyone who answers.

How does this apply to Android phone? Can the Android phone owner or third-party iPhone owner register a Android phone number with iMessage?
(The reason to ask this -- sometimes my text to the group that has an Android phone, the Android phone fail to receive the text)

does this work with a google voice number?
