sberman, your response does not provide any help.
OK. Good luck.
What do you mean? The link that sberman supplied is the link to get into your Apple ID so you can change information on it. How is it not helpful?

Hello,
I confirm the pb : there is no way to change or delete a phone number on Apple ID (at least on the french version of it !). We can only add an email address.
Someone said in another post something like off/on FaceTime, Imessage and the phone etc... Maybe I didn't understand, maybe it doesn't work in the case of deleting a number, not changing it. I want to delete one of the 2 numbers.
Any suggestion, please (knowing that it can't be done directly on Apple ID) ?
Many thanks,
Ch
Check at the bottom of the PAYMENT section to see your phone number. Emails are done in the ACCOUNT section.
Can't see why any other language version of this would be different. French people have phones right?
On each iOS device, the phone number is populated from the SIM card. Can't be inputted manually.
I need to delete an old work phone number off of apple id ... showing up under "reachable at" ... having the same issue as original poster ...
The "Reachable At" information is a reflection of how you have Messages set up. Did you remove the Work phone number from your Send & Receive on all phones that you are using Messages on? Did you sign out of Messages on the Work phone?
All phones signed into the same iCloud account will show both phone numbers. It appears that this "Reachable At" section is just a confirmation of email addresses, and, apparently the last registered phone number you have set up for Messages and FaceTime.
Not sure how it chooses which number to display, but it is more informational than anything else. My guess is that if you have a device running iOS 9, then the phone number for that device is what shows up.
Best of luck,
GB
