How do u change the registered phone number on iMessage on iPhone? It still shows old number even after a reset and the number is grayed out. I have waited for the change to happen (imessage off), but it still didn't change. I pulled the sim out and waited, but still no change. I am using an iphone 4s and OS 5.1.
You can try
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
(Note: This step will delete all settings)
I did it.. Are you sure imessage is supposed to be off while waiting for the number change?
Yes, normally before the change your phone number, you should have switched iMessage off with that number so Apple server can record the changes.
So the steps are:
1. Make sure imessage is off
2. Change phone number
3. Reset all settings
4. Turn off device then turn back on
5. Keep imessage off and wait a few hours for change to happen
6. Turn imessage on and it should work
?
Because the phone number still isnt changing
Have you tried turning iMessages back on? Because after it changes on the server, you need to turn on iMessages for it to sync with the server.
Turning it on after all the steps? Yeah i did.. So what do I do next?
Is there a way to contact apple without calling? Like by email or sth? Because i live in a different timezone.
See the link below right.
I had the same problem with my sister's iPhone and what I did was I put the old Sim card with the old number in the phone, turned off iMessage with the old Sim card in the phone. Then turned the phone off with the power button. Put the new Sim card with the new phone number back in the iPhone, turned it on, went to Settings and turned iMesaage back on and immediately the new number got registered and grayed out and it worked properly. I actually saw it change automatically although it happened practically immediately after turning iMessage back on.
I did not have to erase settings and I did not have to reset the phone.
That's the way to go. Turns off iMessage with old number before you activate the new number.
Still not working.. I went to the provider as well, but it still didnt work.
The Number has been removed but now the new number is not being registered at all. An error message is coming saying that it could not be activated. I'm only able to use iMessage with my apple id. What do i do??? I have already lost about Rs.100(around $2) in activation SMSs but nothing happened. Please help!!
I had already changed my number. All I did was turn off iMessaging and then turn it back on and it worked.
Turning off iMessage and turning it back on also worked for me. Thanks! "Settings" -> "Messages" -> toggle iMessage button on and off.
