the ported number can be called or texts sent to it all fine but they are only normal texts and not iMessages. the main thing is the ported number is showing as the phone number in the phone settings section but the inactive EE number is ticked in iMessage and slightly greyed out and it's not possible to untick it by tapping on it.
turned settings off and restarted then turned them on again, reset settings totally and rebooted phone. iMessage is a popular instant messaging service developed by Apple that allows users to send text and multimedia over the Internet to other iOS or macOS users. Hi, thanks for the advice but we have done this multiple times over the last 2 days.
#Imessage for macbook wont connect mac
The ported number shows as her phone number in settings on the phone its only the nonactive number issue in iMessage that's being a pain!!! Note, your effects wont work if theyre not sent as an iMessage if your friend doesnt have an iPhone iPad or Mac they wont see them. Restart your device: iPhone iPad iPod touch Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on. Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime. Turn off and restart iMessage and FaceTime Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage. restarted the iPhone, reactivated the iMessage and Facetime settings, reset network settings, etc, etc, etc but nothing works to remove the EE nonactive number and get the ported number associated with iMessage. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set correctly. We have turned bot iMessage and Facetime active settings off and on. Her phone can take calls on the O2 ported number and send and receive normal texts using the ported number but when checking the settings it is the EE new sim number (now nonactive after the porting completed) which is showing in iMessage and Facetime settings and it's not removable. The problem is that now the number port is complete her original O2 ported number is not showing in iMessage or Facetime, only the new EE sim number which is now not active. The new number for her EE sim is connected to both iMessage and Facetime since inserting it into the phone (the porting happened a couple of days after receiving the sim). My wife has just joined O2 and ported her number from O2.
