Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
i have both a phone number in Ecuador and one in the USA when i visit and i want people that write me on my ecuadorian account will be able to write me on my USA phone number too. i assume that since you can push i message to otehr devices you could theoretically do so with two iphone or two iphone lines?
also does imessage works on edge? like everything else?
iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.1
That article leaves a few things out...
1. You can use one icloud/apple account but register different emails addresses. Apple will verify the email and associate it in their database/dns with your device. Thus I have my iphone and ipad setup to one imessage account and my wife has her iphone and ipad sync'd. Same Apple Account different emails...
2. Now many people are getting that their email address (non apple) is already in use. This is most likely due to the fact that the email address was setup to use with their facetime on a Mac. Thus that unique email is syn'd with Apples DNS to that device, a Mac.
So In my case I have my primary email address linked to my iMac at home my primary work address to my Macbook Pro at the offfice...and then my icloud/mobile email linked to my iphone and ipad. In my wifes case she used her gmail to link up her ipad and iphone to imessage.
Much confusion here amoung my peers but I sorted this out late today. Works well. We could have gone with unique icloud accounts but that presents other issues covered by the author of that article...amoung other things.
Now the only issue with my system is the new Find my Friends feature as it only allows one icloud/mobile me per device. Thus a family sharing an Apple account is screwed but I'm sure this will be addressed down the road as that single family consists of a dad like me wanting to keep and eye on the kids...then again Apple may not like the shared system we all use...they would rather we all buy our own apps!
What device are you using to send?
Carboncow, I also have my two iPhones and iMac set up like you do. All three set up with the same Apple ID and then use different Emails for iMessage and FaceTime. The way I got Find My Friends app to work is to sign in on each iPhone with a different Apple ID for the Find My Friends app only then you will be able to use the app to locate you family members. My wife's iPhone has our original Apple ID and the I created another Apple ID to use on my iPhone only for the Find My Friends app.
iMessage how many iPhones can you use with the same iMessage account
