[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1516071, member: 38928"] The number on your iPhone should be greyed out because it's something you can't change. The iPad however, not being tied to a phone number doesn't display it this way. To make sure that everything is in sync log into the apple website with your ID and ensure your telephone number is recorded in there. Regarding your SMS query, that function will only work on an iPhone when sending. How your settings are regarding SMS are not relevant in this case. Whether you receive an SMS is down to how it was sent so it's down to how the sender has their settings and whether they sent the message from an SMS capable platform. I.e. if they sent you an iMessage from an iPad of Mac you will not get an SMS. Another issue to consider is your data plan. If you have a data signal you should be able to send and receive iMessages, it's not dependant on wifi if you have 3g/4g. [/QUOTE]
