Works on my 2010 MacBook Pro and iPhone 4
You guys do have an iPhone running iOS6 right with iMessages configured on your iPhones right...

And you're on iOS 6 on your iPhone and you've configured it on the iPhone /settings/messages?

Pick one. What exactly are you going to lose?
Set iMessages up again on your iOS 6 device first.
Your iMessage settings window will change after and look like this:

Messages on my macbook pro still isn't giving me any options for using my mobile number. Have updated iphone to ios6, rebooted twice, disabled imessage and rebooted, enabled it and rebooted. Plus rebooted mac.
Is there something else I need to do?

I'll try to put this a simple as possible...
Does these update truly unify? I tried Messages when it was in beta and actually liked it. But when I would send them from my phone or MacBook, the people who would receive my messages would complain that my contact was coming up as my email (Apple ID) and the only way to fix it was to stop using messages on the Mac and unlink imessage from my Apple ID, then my regular contact name would show again. (Note all of this early this year) Does this "unification" Make it so my contact name will show regardless of what device I send it from?

Seems to be a trend with people in the 2009 MBP camp who can't link their iPhone # to iMessage. If anyone figures it out, I bet a lot of people would appreciate a step-by-step complete with screenshots.
I did a quick search for 'IMESSAGE' on Twitter and it seems many people are having the problem

My MBP is late 2011. All updates installed etc.
Just wont bring up any options for linking phone number. It's damn frustrating.

One important thing you have to do is go to applied.apple.com and log in. Then verify/add your mobile number. Once your mobile number is associated with your appleID, you should just have to reset and BAM!

I checked that already. My mobile number has been associated for ages. Makes no difference - still no options to link in Messages.
