The title says it all, i have tried lots of things. My FaceTime en iMessage both work just fine, but im only able to use it using my apple id which is my email.
I do have a phone number connected to my iPhone and my apple id, but it just isnt showing up on the option 'Send and receive', only my apple id. And i would like to use my phone number to use these apps.
Hopefully someone can help!
Double check that the number is showing on your Apple ID. If you recently added the number, have you allowed time for the change to sync, then signed out of Messages/FaceTime, restarted, and signed back in?
Messages - If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime.
Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.
Try a restart.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Try a forced restart.
If necessary
Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Yes, i have. I have waited well over 24 hours to let the change sync. But it just keeps showing my apple id, not my number.
Also when i restarted the phone my imessage and facetime both say 'waiting for activation', i dont know if thats the intention or not.
My Phone number is not an option on iMessage and FaceTime.
