Good afternoon Pang barinan,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

I understand you would like to use the Messages app on your iPhone using your phone number. The resource below explains how to do this.

Add or remove your phone number in Messages or FaceTime

Set up your phone number

These steps work only with the phone number that belongs to your iPhone, not the phone number of a landline or other device. On your iPhone:

  1. Go to Settings > Messages and make sure that iMessage is on. You might need to wait a moment for it to activate.
  2. Tap Send & Receive. If you see “Use your Apple ID for iMessage,” tap it and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch.

  3. In the “You can be reached” section, make sure that there are checkmarks beside your phone number and Apple ID.
  4. Go to Settings > FaceTime and follow the same steps.

Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Take care.
