    Your phone number comes from your SIM and when you log in and activate FaceTime. It should appear automatically. If it is not appearing, then I would say that your FaceTime is not completing the activation process. If you go to Settings>FaceTime, do you see anything about pending activation, or waiting for activation under the switch to turn it on?

    Hi,

     

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

     

    I have two numbers from different providers, first I used a line from MTN and I have put my Celz line which will be permanently in my iPhone. My iPhone  on activation is seeing the number which I had used at first.

     

     

    Regards

    Switching back and forth between carries will require you to sign out of FaceTime and then sign back in and activate after inserting the other SIM. You can only use one number set at a time.
