another way to change it is :
go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
and then do what razmee209 said,
after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
I hope this could help you,

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message it shows up on the other iphone. How do i change this

    I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message, it shows on the other iphone. How do i change this?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage).  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.

  • My Texts recieved thru iMessage are showing up as coming from my email and not from my phone number

    How do I fix my phone to show my contact name or phone number when sending a text rather than my email address?

    "Seetings -> Phone" : get sure that your Number is displayed
    iMessage & FaceTime are using the Phone Number from "Settings -> Phone"
    to get your Number displayed in "Settings -> Phone" try to reset all Settings to factory
    Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset all Settings (all personal Data and Media will not be deleted) but all Wifi Network Settings

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

  • When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

    When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

    Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.

  • When i send a text message to someone it also comes through to my wifes phone

  • When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address.  If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad.  How do I stop this?

    On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
    (I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
    Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

  • When I send a text it doesnt show in my sent box

    Have just bought a nokia 6300.
    When I send a text message and check in my sent box afterwards why does it never show the texts I have sent, it says box is empty yet when I check the message log it shows the message has gone.
    Also, stupid question but when I use the camera to take a photo, how do I go back and view it at a later date and add it as a picture to my contact names?
    Finally can I just have a normal phone ring as my ringtone?

    I don't know if it is the same but try to press familiar steps.
    Menu > Messaging > Message Settings > General Settings > Save Sent Messages > Yes.
    It may be a different way but try to go into the message settings.

  • I recently had to erase my Iphone 5s. Now, when I send texts, it shows them coming from my email address.  I'd rather it just showed them coming from my phone

    I recently had to erase my IPhone 5S, and now it's been restored, and when I text, it shows my messages coming from my email address rather than from my phone # or my name, like they used to be shown.   How can I change this setting back to the way it was?   Thanks

    I presume you can see "You can be reached at ...", so do you only see your email there? (i.e. no phone number?)  If so, then the "send from" may not be an option since your iPhone only has one point of contact, your email.
    If you don't see your phone number under "You can be reached at ..." then sign out of iMessage and FaceTime, then send a text message to any non-iOS friend you know, then sign back into iMessage and FaceTime.  That may re-establish your phone number with Apple's servers.

  • When I send a text message I do not get any confirmathat it has been delivered.  Is there a way of getting an automated confiramtion of deleivery as I'm used to having this on a previous phone, and need to know that my texts have been delivered.

    When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered.  Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time?  I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.

    Thanks.  So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery.  Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone.  It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

  • When I send a text message from my iphone sometimes the recipient receives it twice...why does this happen.

    Why is it that when I send a text message, sometimes the recipient receives it twice. It doesn't happen every time.

    I am having this same problem. Sometimes it sends from my phone number, sometimes it sends from my gmail. Under my messages settings it says "receive messages at 2 addresses" and when I click on that I try to remove the gmail address from there but the option to delete that email address is grayed out so I can't click on it.
    I discovered this was happening because I am in a group imessage with 2 friends. They told me that for some reason the group convos were split into 2 different conversations in their message list. And we discovered it's because in one group the messages are coming from my phone number, and in the other group it is coming from my gmail address.
    I don't mind RECEIVING iMessages at both my phone number and my gmail - but I want control over which one is being used when I SEND iMessages.
    Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

  • When I send a text message it says delivery failed.  When I resend it sends the message twice.  Why am I having problems?

        Oh goodness! We want your text going through the first time, dria56. Does this happen when you're messaging someone in particular or is it every message you send? Is it a plain text or a message with more than 160 characters/graphics/pictures?

  • When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband. Why?

    When I send a text message to someone, it also goes to my husband.  Why?

    You are both signed ointo iMessage with the same APple ID. It is always best practice to use separate APple IDs for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime.
    If you choose to use the same Apple ID, check your Send & Recieve settings:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Recieve > Make sure your husbands number is not checked on your phone (in both the You Can Be Reached By iMessage At and Start New Conversations From sections) and yours is not check on his phone.
