  • Text Messages show email instead of phone number..Help!

    When I send a text, it is ID as coming from my email instead of my phone number or the contact info.  I have already gone into settings, messages, receive at, caller id and my phone number is checked...but still having the problem...any suggestions?????

    go back into settings at the received at and log out of your email and see if that works.

  • IMessage sending from email instead of phone number

    After 5 months of using my iPhone, my iMessage has switched to sending from phone number to sending from my email on the iPhone 5S (Software ios 8.1.3). I have already checked my settings, which state it should be sending from my phone number. In fact when I have deselected my email address as an alternate for iMessage, my messages will not send at all.  I have rebooted my phone as well as signed in and out of iMessage and iCloud. I don't know how to fix this issue, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Hey emdiers,
    I see that you are experiencing a messaging issue on your iPhone. It sounds like you are unable to send SMS messages as well as being unable to send iMessages from your phone number, is this correct? If so, when you turn off iMessage, you will not be able to send any messages whatsoever. Have you found this to be the case? If so, this article has some advice on how to address this issue:
    Contact your carrier
    If you can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages, contact your carrier to check your text messaging plan.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • IMessage sending My ID as email instead of phone number

    I've been texting someone through Imeessage, and for a while, when they received my messages, it would show my phone number. Now, my ID comes up as my email address. I tried going onto the message settings, and tried selecting my phone number on the "Send & Receive" option. I tried removing the email, but it won't allow me to remove the email. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it.

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where iMessages are being sent from an email address rather than your phone number which is selected, please sign out of iMessage and then sign back in.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

  • Why does my iMessage randomly send from my email instead of phone number on my iPhone?

    Hi,
    I have iMessage set up on my iPhone 5s (fully updated) and regularly use it since most of my contacts also have imessage. I mainly use it on my iPhone, but sometimes use the messaging app on my Mac.
    I have an email linked to my iMessage, it is my apple ID. I have it set as "can be reached at" my phone number and email and "start new conversations from" ONLY my phone number.
    However, sometimes when I'm in the middle of a text conversation with someone, they will end up getting an imessage from my email and not my phone number, which confuses people and puts the conversation in two different places.
    Is this a common issue? Do I just remove the email from where I can be reached at? Does doing that disable me from using the messenger app on my mac?

    Unfortunately yes - if you have both phone number and email checked as available then sometimes the choice from where to send appears to be random.
    However you may want to disable the email as a potential contact point on the phone and leave it on in the pad and see what happens - given the cloud based nature of the system it may synchronize at some point but at least you will know .

  • How can I change how people call me from my email to my phone number

    Help me with my FaceTime for my iphone

    Goto settings>FaceTime and under you can be reached by FaceTime at, remove your Apple ID or any other email.

  • Does FaceTime audio call use the Apple ID instead of email address or phone number?

    My wife and I each have our own iphones.  The Facetime audio calls come through OK for each one of us, as the calls are set to be received on each of our own email address and phone numbers (so there is no issue here).  But when Facetime audio calls come through, both phones ring at the same time.  I am guessing the FT audio calls (unlike the video calls) are using the Apple ID which is the same for both our phones.  Is this the case?  And if so, is the only fix, to set the phones on different ID's?  Why are audio and video calls set up differently?

    It depends upon the device that they are on - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
    To call someone using FaceTime, you need their phone number or email address. Which one you use is determined by the device you are calling:
    When calling someone using an iPhone 4 or later: Try the phone number of the person you are calling first. If the person has registered an email with FaceTime, you can use that as well.
    When calling someone using an iPad 2, iPod touch, or FaceTime for Mac: Use the email address designated for FaceTime of the person you are calling.
    On iPad 2, iPod touch, and FaceTime for Mac, you need to add a person as a contact using the FaceTime or Contacts app before you can call them.

  • My iMessage is sending from email instead of my phone number. I have tried to change it back by going to settings messages receive at and it won't let me click on my phone number. Please help!!

    My IMessage is sending from my email, and I am recieving
    Messages thru my email. I have tried to fix this by going to Settings > messaging > recieved at> and my phone number pops up along with my email. It will let me click on my email, but my phone number is greyed out and I can't click on it.i have also tried caller id, which still didn't fix the problem.
    Trying to kill two birds with one stone, my phone also says that I have no storage left. I literally have 3 apps installed on my phone. Facebook, Twitter, and instagram. I only have 52 photos, 0 videos, and about 115 songs. I know for a fact that I shouldn't be out of storage, because I have friends with the same iPhone 4, that have 400 pictures, a thousand songs, and page after page of apps. I want to know what is taking up all of the storage, and what can I do to get rid of it. Thank you in advance

    Sorry G23 - I like birds ;)
    I suggest you start another thread as I don't know the answer to that one but this might help:
    Go to settings - general - usage -   Her e you might find some data hogs
    Good luck

    Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.
