I need remove my number from iMessage and Facetime

iPhone 5

iOS 8.1.3

I need to remove my phone number from iMessage and Facetime, what I mean is that when I restore my iPhone after entering my Apple ID leaves me can contact me via iMessage and Facetime with my phone number and my two email addresses, but just let me get my email address but my phone number is grayed out and will not let me remove it. In simpler words what I need is that the next time you restore my iPhone when you get there do not include my phone number.

Excuse my English but only speak Spanish and use a translator online

iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3

You may not need to do that.

If there is no check "√" by the number

In Setting > Messages Send and Receive

The number is not being used.

On an iPhone you cannot enable iMessage without having the phone number as a receive at address. That is not possible with an iPhone and never has been.

You can't remove your number from iMessage and FaceTime, instead you can do one thing. If you don't want to share your mobile number, you can start conversation with your email ID. Please check it our this link for more information iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

I hope this helped you.

You can stop going your iMessage as a SMS to avoid the carrier charges.

What you mention me and I try but still I keep coming surplus for this reason is why I need to remove my number from my Apple ID, just not as this more associated with my Apple ID that is what I need, not if existira somehow contact Apple via email to ask if they can do what I need.
