Remove phone number of iMessage

Hi all

I enabled iMessage on my Apple ID, that I use on my iPhone and my Macbook Pro. I added my mobile number to my Apple ID.

I configured iMessage on my Macbook so I can only be reached on iMessage via my Apple ID address. I want to implement iMessage on my iPhone in the same way, so that I can only be reached through iMessage on my iPhone using my Apple ID email address. However, I can't delete my cell phone (settings > Messages > Send and receive) because it is grayed and checked by default. I'm only new conversations iMessage on my iPhone with my Apple ID email address.

Any ideas on how I can avoid being reached on my cell phone on iMessage on my iPhone? Support the Apple docs say I have to remove my phone number from my Apple ID, but I won't do that because I 2FA activated on this number.

Thanks for your help!

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.2

MacBook Pro mid-2010, OS X 10.11.1

Basically, you can't.

    Hello

    On the iPhone, make sure that the Send and Receive messages indicates the active phone number.

    Make sure that the iPhone and Macs use the same Apple ID and that they are marked Active.

    Try logging (Sign Out) of the Apple ID on the iPhone and then wait a few minutes before adding it back.

    This should trigger the pop ups on the Mac to accept that the Mac is aware of the iPhone number (again).

  • iMessage trying to activate a bad phone. number - gray.

    Hello.

    I just moved to a new country and I plug a new line of mobile phone.

    I have configured the phone, he updated the parameters of the carrier and all looks great, until I checked iMessage and FaceTime.

    Here's the question:

    The phone attempts to assets using the old number. The number is gray and it has the rotating circular symbol.

    Is there a way to remove this activation number?

    I have already changed the number from phone to phone, changed the password from iCloud, signed by all browsers, hard reset phones and Im still not able to change activation number to activate, activate using the Apple ID.

    Please let me know if you need any additional info.

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    Phone number that iMessage tries to activate depending on the SIM card. You need to disconnect from the iMessage, if you did not before you put the new SIM card in the phone, or if you door your number for a new carrier, you will need to wait until it's finished before trying to activate iMessage. Also, if you do not use a supported carrier, they could block the activation SMS. You should check with them to make sure they support iMessage activation and you have a SMS account with the carrier. They can answer these questions.

  • Phone number in gray

    I am on iOS 8.1.2, iPhone 6 and my phone number for iMessage is grayed out and cannot be selected. Right now I can only use imessage with my apple ID is there a way to use my phone number instead? I already tried turning market imessage/facetime.

    The phone number is always ranked on an iPhone. This is what phone number is registered with the account and cannot be changed from the device. But that grades out number IS your number active for the iMessages and SMS texts.

    Only addresses that you can change are the email addresses you want linked your account to iMessage.

    Hey aggiedoc69,

    I understand you have a problem with an iMessage sending to a friend of yours. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    One thing to try is to remove the conversation that you have with that person and send a message to them in a new conversation. Take a look at the article for this and other troubleshooting options. You can also suggest your friend try these steps as well.

    Do I lose all the iMessages that have not been delivered to my iphone if I withdraw (from iMessage) my phone number? My current iphone is broken and I am planing to get a new one in a few months.

    You may lose everything.  iMessage, like most e-mail services, don't keep permanently undeliverable messages.  They only keep in the short period send queue (I don't know exactly how much time but some Apple tech sites indicate no more than 10 days to two weeks) until they are purged.  That's pretty standard as otherwise, large volume, messaging services would be sitting on tera-bytes of messages not delivered each month.

    You actually have to change my phone number?  If not, let alone sign and only in iMessage when you have the new phone with this set of numbers upward to the service.
