iMessage number change madness

Anonymous — Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:10:57 GMT

I have my new SIM and have transferred my old number - all is well.

Well ... No! I've just found out that although everything else has changed, iMessage sends messages to other iPhones (when both ar on wifi, I guess) using the number that was first on the SIM nit the newly transferred number!

The settings are greyed-out! Argh!

Is there any way to change this please?

Cheers.

Have you gone into settings and message and toggled iMessage on.

Go
Into send/receive to ensure your apple Id is there and you have a tick where your telephone number is displayed.

Also try resetting by pressing the top sleep wake button and home button until the apple logo appears and then let go.

If that has no effect try going into settings, general, reset , reset all settings

Sorry adamtemp64, I'd already tries bob's solution before I saw your post. The my number setting is now correct too, maybe the iMessage resetting did this too?
Anyway, thank you for your post.
