Email shows up instead of number for texting !! HELPPPP

Whenever i text another iPhone user my email shows up instead of my phone number. So, they have to save my email instead of my number. Is it because i backed my phone up to iCloud? HELPPPPP

Not sure if this occurs with the iPhone mate, but I do know that if you have more than one entry for the same person in your contacts, it will only show the number and not the name when their call comes through. Just check to see if those contacts are in your Address Book on the phone more than once. In the UK, that can be as simple as having the same number expressed both ways eg: 0161 555 1234, and +44161 555 1234 - same number, same person, but having both of those numbers in your phone will produce what you are experiencing.
Worth a look?
Cheers
Chris

  • I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • IChat shows numbers instead of names for facebook contacts, how to fix?

    I just started using iChat for Facebook Chat, but it shows numbers instead of names for most of my contacts.
    Is there any workaround for this?
    Adium shows names just fine, but I want to use iChat instead.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    With AIM names there is an Option on the  AIM pages to change your Display name. (in your Account Settings)
    If you have an AIM Buddy list and stick in my Screen Name (ralphjohnsr) you will notice it displays as Ralph johns R with the Upper case letters and spaces.
    I am wondering if FaceBook have done something similar but not everyone has changed (or more likley Facebook are using the "wrong" list or haven't told anyone).
    The strange thing is only the two of you have mentioned it so far so there is probably some other explanation.
    On the Address Book Front I have added (level 4) to some Buddies that I happen to know via these Apple Forums (under the previous software there were only 5 Levels of posters) when we used to chat using iChat on a more regular basis.
    iChat does allow you to Create Nicknames in the Info Card but this Adds them to the Address Book.
    (it also has difficulty with lots of Nicknames that are the same such as Dave for David)
    It would interesting to know if Adium "Sees" the numbers instead of names. (Or ProteusX if anyone has it)

  • Can you block your number for texting, so dont show in ppls phone record?

    usually in the phone record show the number who is text you and the phone you sent a message. But since a week a go don't show the number of the person, and I received tons of messages everyday, but  on my phone record of text messages don't reflect the phone number. Is a way you can block your number??? so dont registrer in the phone record?

        I understand the importance of viewing numbers in your message details hmaldonado. There is an option for individuals to block their number if it is restricted. What do you see on your phone for these messages you are referring to? Is this a number that is stored in your phonebook? Have you checked My Verizon online? Can you see calls from this person? What specific task are you trying to accomplish with this number? Here's how to access My Verizon. Select My Usage, then Usage details. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc

  • Email showing Phone Numbers and Address for a Split Second then Disappears

    Hello - I have the I-Phone 4 and am having difficulty with receiving all parts of emails for my business. On incoming emails I am able to see the numbers for only a split second before they disappear. However, if I click on where the number should be (as the screen is white in that area), it will ask if I would like to call the number.
    Any ideas for fixing this issue?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones  trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

  • Showing image instead of flash for mobiles?

    I am just wondering if it is possible to show an image instead of flash content for mobiles?
    I want to allow the adobe sniffer to do its thing when it is people using pc and mac browsers and direct them to the plug in page to download the flash player if they need it, but is there a way to sniff for a mobile / smart phone browser and if they cant view flash it will show an image instead?
    Any help appreciated.

    You can use Javascript to detect the browser and platform for any given user. You can then parse that information to push the content that you want to use for the result. You can find a good write-up with example code here: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html

No such email has arrived. It's been a half hour, so it should have arrived. My credit card got charged, though. How can I get the serial number to the software I purchased?

  • 3230 - preset number for text messages

    Hope someone can help, I have had previous nokia phones and set them up so that when i send a text message it automatically puts the number i want to send it to in the relevant box (i mainly text one person).....i cant see the means to do this on the 3230.....any ideas or am i missing the obvious?

    Enter the number in your Contacts using any name, or perhaps just a single chracter like 'z'.
    Then in Messaging when you are in the To: -field, do a long press of the '#' key to switch the text entry mode from numeric (123) to text (abc).
    Now you can just enter the 'z' character and hit the green/send key.
