yes, but this setting is the same as before. I'm seeing nothing different. Unless, like I said, it does it automatically.

I just went through this. On your iPhone, go to settings - imessage - send and recieve, and make sure AppleID (at the top) is added/set.

Once that's done (You'll probably have to log in), set the iPad up the same, and your send/receive at from the iPhone will appear as options on the iPad (Including your phone number)

Hope this works for you. It did for me.

I think I had to turn off iMessage, wait a bit, then turn it back on on the iPhone before it popped up with a message on the other deivces to allow the use of the phone number on them.

This all happend automatically for me.

After rebooting for the OS X update I got an dialog box asking if I wanted to add my phone number to Messages. I clicked yes then the next time I unlocked my iPhone it asked me if I wanted to allow my MBA access to messages.

I havent tested to see if it works yet mind.

Mine just did it automatically

When I updated to ML 10.8.2 it just said that my number was added.

i just had to sing out my apple id and sing in again and it worked

Just got done. If you don't see your number, log out of iMessage on iOS device, and sign back up, and it will be there.

any idea if the phone number sync will allow multiple phone numbers? I have work/personal phone and ipad and would be nice if I could get messages from both phone numbers.

its all linked under your apple id...so If you have both numbers linked to 1 ID you should be able to unless that was not thought of yet...ideally should work

I've logged in and out of iMessage on all of my devices and haven't had any luck yet. My phone number is associated with my Apple ID, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Have you shut off iMessage on all apple devices. Turned them off, waited fifteen seconds, turned them back on, then re-enabled iMessage across the devices?

got them all updated and both phone numbers and all emails show up on all 3 devices.

iMessages sent to either number or the 3 emails shows up on everything. SMS texts are still limited just to the phone number they were sent to of course.

I also had to turn iMessage off on both my iPhone and iPad. Once I turned it back on, it verified and activated the use of my cell number

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to post this in case anyone is stumbling across it as I did.

The fix for me was Messages>>Preferences >> Accounts Click sign out. Sign in.

Immediately showed my phone number and messages started coming in.
