5800 email to phone number

This might be a long shot, but I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
I bought a Nokia 5800 Music Xpress and I use it with T-Mobiles prepaid plan. I can't receive email sent to my phone number (using my10 digit number @tmomail.net). T-Mobile's tier 2 tech support says it should work and even emailed me a couple of messages that I was able to receive. When I or my coworkers try it from multiple email accounts (Yahoo, AOL, my work account via Outlook) it doesn't work.
I don't know if this matters (I'm a total n00b when it comes to this type of phone) but I had tried to donate to the red cross using 90999 but was having trouble with that, and T-Mobile tech support said I had to put a plus sign before the number, which my friends tell me isn't normal. I've tried different variations of my number (including the plus, or a 1 or both, etc.) with no luck. Oddly, we never receive any bounce back messages saying that email address doesn't exist. 
If anyone has any tips or anything, I'd be eternally grateful. I want to be able to get messages from my mom whose health is declining, but she doesn't have a cell phone and she doesn't want to have to learn any of this new-fangled technology **bleep** at her age, dammit! 

T-mobile seems to have a lot of problems supporting s60v5. First MMS issues now this. However, the difference between the emails from your co-workers and that from t-mobile is likely that they are using the same network. First try your friends to email you using T-mobile service (their phones). If it works, its likely a T-mobile problem supporting s60v5 again.

  • I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it.  I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend.  Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id?  My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone. 
    My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
    For instance:  her phone number might look like this:  (493) 305-3958
    and her email address would look like this:  [email protected]
    If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message.  Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine.  It's completely crazy!  We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine.  Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?

  • Email and Phone number added to contact list without permission?

    Just discovered an email and phone number added to my contact list under my name and its not mine! How did this happen? Can't call Apple because my 90 days has expired and they won't answer the question without me paying!! So frustrating!! Hoping someone has an answer for me??

    What is the full message of the notification ? If your phone number and email address were added to, for example, the Messages app on another device then you will need to go to that other device to remove them from it

  • I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information.  For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

    An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user.  If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian

  • IMessage from email not phone number

    I went out of the country for a week and when we were back in the states all of my friends got their messages from that week but I didn't. My iMessage will only send/recieve from my email account used with my apple id and not my phone number. How do I switch it and recieve my messages?

    If you go to settings/messages/imessage there should be an option that says send and receive. It gives you a choice by email or phone number.
    Also make sure imessage is activated as you have been away from home.

  • IMessage sending messages from email not phone number/not working

    I have an iPhone 5s and my sister has an iPhone 5c. She told me that my phone was sending her imessages from my email. When I go to change it to my phone number only it has it as a grayed out (will not let me select it). I turned iMessages off and then turned it back on and it still wouldn't so I tried it one more time now I get a "waiting for activation..." under my iMessage switched on. I tried turning it off, hard resetting and then turning it back on but when I go to sign in it says "server couldnt not be reached. try again" and it says that each time i try to sign in.
    I guess my questions are: 1) do the imessage servers go down? 2) how do i 'activate" my imessages so it doesnt say 'waiting for activation"? 3) how do i make my imessages come from my phone number and not my email?

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • Imessage will ONLY have option to send from email. Phone number is greyed out... Please help

    Hi,
    I have tried all of the tips and tricks for getting my imessage to send from my phone number, not my email but I am not having any luck.
    The option in the message settings has my phone number greyed out and my apple ID has my phone number stored. I am not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate the help.
    All imessages sent to me do not get to my phone because it seems to be disabled.

  • My iMessages are only showing email not phone number

    Can anyone please advise?

    Hello PrestonGirl,
    I found this article while researching what you are describing here, named iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage found http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • How do I change my imessage from email to phone number?

    My phone has recently started sending imessages from my gmail address instead of my phone number.  I have not changed any settings, but I noticed that in settings -> messages -> send & receive it now shows my gmail address selected instead of my phone number.  I can't select my phone number or remove the email address to switch it back.  help?

    Deactivate iMessage on your phone.   Restart phone.   Re-Activate iMessage.
    That should do it.

  • Iphone 6 imessage shows email not phone number occasionally

    i have an iphone 6 on verizon network. its only 1 week old and just started showing my email instead of phone number. But the catch is it only does it occasionally. Any suggestions?

    I am also having this issue. It started when I upgraded from a 4S to iPhone 6. The cause does seem to be the iPhone 6 switching from my phone number to my email. Another symptom is that on my iPad and MacBook Pro, iMessages sent after the iPhone switches do not sync. I do have both my phone and email as valid recipient addresses for iMessage, but my phone number is checked for "Start New Conversations From." Also unchecking my email address as a valid recipient address is not an option (this is a requirement for FaceTime->iPhone Cellular Calls).
