Q: How to remove your phone number from the iPad

How do I get my phone number off of my iPad? I don't want to receive texts on the iPad. I don't want to just turn it off, I want it off permanently.

iPad, iOS 7.0.2

Hi Tjmills14!

I believe the options you are looking for can be found right here:

Messages settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99acb5bb

If you go to the Messages settings on your iPad and turn off iMessage, then you will no longer receive or send texts from your iPad. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

simple fix
go to settings- messages - send and receive- select the numbers and emails you want to use - deselect the ones you don't need
Peace, Clyde
