I messed up the set up on my iPad, so my bf's mobile number is my FaceTime number. I have managed to unstick his number so now only my email address is used for my FaceTime, but how can I replace his number with mine??
iPad
Are you using his AppleID? If so, you will either need to create your own and assocaite your number with it, or add your number to his AppleID.

No, it's my Apple ID, all our numbers are linked under it & during set up I hit his number instead of the number for the iPad. I don't know whether it is possible to re set-up the whole thing?
What do you mean "the number for the iPad"? Except for data plan identification, iPad's don't have phone numbers.
Ah, that would make A LOT of sense!! So, my FaceTime is linked to my aol email address, does that mean that others will connect to that automatically whether through 3G on Vodafone or through my Wifi at home? In other words, do I only actually need my email address as the option for where I can be reached with FaceTime?
I hope what I have written there makes sense? Thanks for your help!!
However... I have definitely done something wrong somewhere, as now when the bf sends a text, he gets it straight back from 'my iPad' this just gets weirder!! What have I done?
You can use an email address for FaceTime regardless, and can be reached at it regardless of what network the caller is on.It does need to be verified on your appleID.

No idea what that means
I have this same issue. My daughters phone # shows up on my iPad for FaceTime and iMessage. But her phone # is nowhere on my apple ID. I checked. I cannot add a different #. How do I do that?
This is happening to me too, I'm really stuck :/ please help anyone xx
I have the same problems. I have deleted my apple Id from my daughter's iphone, so she can only get imessages and FaceTime to her cellphone. Her phone number is still showing on my Ipad2 when I log in using my Apple ID. It also shows up if I use my apple ID on my cell phone for both imessages and FaceTime.
The worse wasn't that I was getting her texts in my Ipad, it was that SHE was getting my imessages in her iphone.
Please help!!!
You need to make sure that each device is using a different Send and Receive address for FaceTIme or iMessages. Have you read anyof the items posted by Tex above?
How can I change a FaceTime number?
