My iPhone is sending text messages from my email account

I just did the new iOs 6 update on my iphone and now when i send text messages they show up as coming from my email account rather than from my phone.  Is there a way to change this?

Go to settings/messages and make sure you have send as SMS turned on.  Then in send & receive make  sure your phone number appears there.  When sending messages while you are connected by wifi it will go view imessage

  • My new iPhone 6 sends text messages from my email not from my cell number.  how to fix this?

    I have a new iPhone 6.  I am having trouble with texting.  Why do my texts go out from my email instead of my cell phone number?  How can I fix this?

    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Start New Conversations From
    Make sure your number is checked.
    Also if you reply to an iMessage sent to one of the email addresses listed in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->You can be reached by iMessage at,
    you'll answer by default from that address.

  • Iphone 5 sending text messages from incloud account

    My iPhone 5 is not sending iMessages or texts from my phone number. It sends it from my icloud account. When I sign out of my icloud account, it does not sent any texts as iMessage or as a green text message. I updated to IOS 8 when then this problem happened

    Go to Settings > Message > Send & Receive.  Sign out of your Apple ID.  Then go back one screen and turn off iMessage.
    Restart your device.
    Then turn iMessage back on.  Do not sign in with your Apple ID.
    Your iMessages will be associated to your phone number only, not your Apple ID.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

  • How do you send text messages from mac to phones on yosemite?

    Just downloaded the new Yosemite and trying to send text messages from my mac to non iPhone users, how do you do this new feature?

    I think you need to wait on this for iOS 8.1.  Apple Messaging works now, but via SMS you need your phone linked.

    How do I send text messages from my Ipod touch?  The "send" button does not light up.

    First of all, you need you have at least iOS 5 installed. Second, the person you are texting must have an iDevice with iOS 5 or higher installed. You can´t send messages to an non-iDevice. You´ll also need an Wi-Fi network to send iMessages. Hope it helped!

    Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
    Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
    Good Luck

  • Why won't my iPhone 4 send text messages?

    I have an iPhone 4. About a month ago, I removed its SIM. I put the SIM back a few days ago and now I can't send text messages. All the other features of the phone are working. Do you think something is wrong with the SIM or is the phone at fault? I was able to send text messages before.

  • Can't send text message from N95 8GB

    "Message cannot be sent" - "Verify network settings" - that's what I get.
    Can anyone help? thx.

    Hi sonia78,
    Do you have enough credit/balance to send texts?
    Have you checked the Message Centre number? Contact your service provider to obtain the number, and then update it in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text message -> Message Centres.
    Did you try a SIM from another Service provider? If the new one works, contact your service provider for help.
    You can try these steps one by one, if the steps above do not help:
    1. Turn off your phone, leave your battery and SIM out for 5-10minutes and put everything back in and turn it on .
    2. Restore factory settings: type *#7780# at the standby screen. Enter 12345 for the security code or the one you've changed it to.
    Before you try the next two steps, backup your phone memory using PC Suite.
    3. Soft reset: This will clean up your phone memory. All user data, applications etc stored in the phone memory will be destroyed. Type *#7370#. Enter the security code when prompted
    4. Hard reset: This is the last resort. Turn off your phone, press and hold down these keys: 3, * and the call (Green) button. Turn on your phone without releasing them. Leave the keys only after you see the region selection screen.
    5. Reinstall the firmware: Download and install the latest Nokia Software Updater from the Nokia website. Connect to the internet, connect your phone to the PC and run NSU. Follow on-screen instructions carefully. Make sure you have a full battery and a stable PC before you proceed.

  • Send Text message from adf to mobile device

    Hi All,
    My concern is that I want to send a SMS/text message from adf application to user mobile is there any sample proj / document/example application related to this requirement .pls help
    Thanks

    The example will not help you
    because the url that we generate we take it from the sms provider ( or the mobile service company )
    so its will not work with you.
    I mean if you want to send sms there is no standard way
    because its depend on the sms provider ( or the mobile service company )
    because every provider have different way>
    So the sms provider must tell you how to generate that URL or what is the a webservice
    that will send the sms.
    Thanks
