Phone number on imessages

Hello everyone,


I'm having the issue on my ipad that I can't use my phone number on imessages. I added my phone number to my Apple-ID and tried turning off imessages and restarting the device before turning imessages back on, but in the option " send and receive" it still shows only my email adress (as my apple-ID) and no option for my phone number.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Presumably you have an iPhone - as it is this phone number that can be associated with FaceTime calls.


Ensure that you have added your iPhone cellular phone number here:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Name, Phone Numbers, email > [Contactable At] - edit as necessary
