I can't add my I phone number for I message or FaceTime on my I pad it only asks on Settings to add an e mail address. There is no where to add phone number. My I phone works works fine as it lists the number first then lists my e mail.
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4
Hi
You can't put your phone number in because an iPad is not a phone. Neither is it a phone if you've the Wi-Fi + Cellular model. That model uses your carrier's service plan for internet access only and a telephony service won't be part of that plan.
If you need clarification on this ask your carrier.
What you can do is use Skpe and other similar apps as mentioned here:
HTH?

I have received I message and face time as recently as a month ago. I was also receiving my wife's I messages! Now nothing. I realize it is not a phone but it has worked in the past. We recently signed up for another 2 year service plan so maybe they changed something with their service?
It's possible I suppose?
However both of those Apps require an AppleID. Are you actually using it? Have you configured both Apps to use it? If you were receiving your wife's iMessages as well as your own then you may have been using the same AppleID? Perhaps in the month that's gone by since it last worked you or someone else (your wife possibly?) have somehow and unknown to you changed or removed it from your device?
I am using my Apple ID. It shows up in both apps in Settings. Does that mean it is configured in the Apps? Yes she does use the same Apple ID for her phone but not her Mini. I really don't think it has been removed frm my I pad. Thanks for giving your effort in thinking this through.
Can't input my I phone number on my I pad 2 for I message and face time
