How do I Change my email in message to my cell phone number

How do I change my email address to my mobile # in iMessage?

Go to Settings->Messages on your iPhone and turn them off, wait a minute and turn them on Again. 
It should refresh the addresses, and the number should show in Messages on your iPad as an option.
I just did this on my iPhone and iPad and it worked fine.
You'll get a message on your iPhone that the iPhone number has been added to the iPad.
You can then go to the "Start New Conversations From" section on your iPad and tap the number to set it as the default.

  • All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • How do I change my incoming calls to view caller's phone number instead of name?  This is for numbers not stored in my contacts (i.e. Unknown)

    How do I change my incoming call view to see the "phone number" instead of seeing "Unknown" for contacts who are not stored in my phone?  Whenever a call comes in it says unknow instead on the phone number that is calling.

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • Whenever I send a single person text it shows as coming from my e-mail but when I send a group message it comes from my phone. How do I change it so it always comes from my phone number not e-mail.

    Whenever I send a text to a person it shows as coming from from e-mail but when I send a group text it shows as coming from my phone? How can I change it so that all texts come from phone?

    The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

  • Hey i was wondering if you could change your iChat account name to your cell phone number ?

    Is there a way to change it from your email to a cell phone number?

    HI,
    I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
    AIM accounts (Screen Names) can be linked to some extent to Mobile/Cell phone
    https://settings.aim.com/  You need to Log in here to see more info in the Mobile setting
    You can also Send SMS to US based phones (on Carriers that support this)
    http://www.aim.com/  Scroll down the page a little.
    Basically an US based Cell Phone Number can be added As If it is a Buddy.  (Technically the Computer has to be set to the US to see the menu items in some version of iChat).
    My the time you update to Mountain Lion then the Messages app has iMessages added to what iChat can do.
    The iMessages account can link and then sync iMessages sent to an iPhone Number  and /or and Apple ID.
    It will work on the Mac version of Messages meaning you can Send If you were the iPhone (number)  and also receive iMessages sent to the iPhone number)
    The same is true on the iPhone it can Receive and Send from both.
    I chat can not do this last item.
    There is no way that I now of to "Spoof" a phone number as the Screen Name  other than th Mobile Link in the first item I linked you to.

  • How can I change my email address in iMessages so that I can receive messages. My apple seems to have two different email identities and I cannot figure out how to change the wrong one.

    My email address in the imessage part of my ipad is incorrect. How can I change the email address to conform with the email address on the rest of my apple products? I can get messages on my iphone, mac but not on my ipad because of the incorrect address.

    Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
    this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
    Hope it helps.

    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

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

  • HT4436 How can I change my email address? Help?

    It appears I have a similar email address to someone and we keep receiving each others mail - so how can I change my email address?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    However all this won't stop you receiving emails at the primary address: but you can set up a Rule to move all such messages to the Trash. Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com and click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.

    If you can sign in to your Apple ID, then you can change the email account it is associated with. Go to http://appleid.apple.com to sign in.
    If you can't sign in, then your best bet is to set up a new ID.

  • How do I change the email Address associated with my FF forum userid?

    I am new to the FF help forum and I can't find an appropriate place to post this. How do I change the email address associated with my FF help forum registration? I tried to use my personal email address but somehow it says it's already registered - but it won't give me the userid. I used a business email address to register now but I want to try to get it over to my personal email address - if FF forum will let me do that.
    thank you

    If you are logged on to the SUMO site then you should see a "Welcome, ffuserX" message in the side bar at the right with a link to go to your profile.<br />
    Click the "Edit My Profile" button and you have a "Change" button next to your current email address.
