Q: How do I change FaceTime phone number?

I want my phone # instead of my husband's on the FaceTime reachable number. For some reason, it picked up his number rather than mine. He has an iPhone, (and I don't) but I have 3 different iPads we use and I want to be able to use my phone # as the reachable #, not his. Must my phone # be attached to an Apple product in order to use FaceTime??

iPad Mini, iOS 9.2.1

    Hi bpweide,

     

    FaceTime associates the telephone number used with the Apple ID that the device is signed into.  You'll need to use your Apple ID on an iPad to edit this information.  I'll include some information below about updating your Apple ID telephone information and assigning telephone numbers to FaceTime.

     

     

     

    Manage your Apple ID account information - Apple Support

     

     

     

    Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

     

    Turn on FaceTime

    Open your FaceTime app and sign in with your Apple ID (you can also do this from Settings > FaceTime).

    If you're using an iPhone, FaceTime automatically registers your phone number. To also register your email address on your iPhone, tap Settings > FaceTime > Use your Apple ID for FaceTime, and sign in.

    If you're using an iPad or iPod touch, register your email address by tapping Settings > FaceTime > Use your Apple ID for FaceTime, and sign in.

     

    Cheers,
