According to a new Support document by Apple, if you own an iPhone 4S and your Sprint account is integrated with Google Voice, you may be unable to use your phone number to receive FaceTime calls or iMessages.

The company headquartered at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California says that integrating your Sprint account with Google Voice may prevent your number from being registered for use with video calls and text messages placed via FaceTime and iMessage respectively.

According to the Mac maker, this happens “only when your Sprint phone number and Google Voice number are not the same.”

“It should not affect your ability to send or receive SMS or MMS messages, or to receive or place FaceTime calls or iMessages using an email address instead of your phone number,” Apple says.
