I have a Canadian phone and a UK phone. Can I link both numbers to one AppleID for messages?

I use two phones depending on being in Canada or in the UK. I'd like to link both phone numbers to my AppleID but I don't know how. Anyone done this before? How?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi,


In theory any iPhone that has the Apple ID should link that device to the set up.

However have you changed the Time Zone on the second iPhone ?

All iMessages are time stamped which in turn is based on the Location and Country Code set up for your iPhone and Mac.


On the Mac it is in Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and using the Details Button and logging in (again as it were).


If they don't match you are unlikely to see some messages.
