Is it possible to send imessage's from an ipad with it showing my caller id instead of my email address? The option for caller id is settings is not appearing. Is this because it must be set up on an iphone? (I don't use an iPhone). Thanks
iPad, iOS 5.1.1
When you use a sim card on the ipad it makes uses of the SIM cards data connectivity. Hence the default setting on the iPad will be set to use the email address.
It cannot make use of the caller ID of the SIM card.
The iPad is not a phone and does not have a phone number and it uses your email address as the address at which you can be reached so there is no need for that setting on the iPad.
Your email address is the "caller ID" on the iPad in this case.
I don't use a sim card, its Wi-Fi only. I know you cannot send an SMS through Wi-Fi, however, is it possible to set up imessage so that the messages sent, show my caller id, rather then my email address.
edit: I know it doesn't have cellular capabilities, however, I was wondering if you could set this up somewhere (apple.com?), so that it shows the caller ID, that has been set up.
You can't set it up to show your caller ID on the iPad. It will show your email address.
