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.

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.

Imessaging from email not phone number?

How come when I message people from my mac/itouch it shows up as an email instead of an imessage? I've added my friends email addresses to their contact information but I still have multiple threads of messages from each person. Is there a way to have one consecutive thread for each friend, regardless of their device? And then do the same for when I message them?
Thanks!!

This is happening because when you send an iMessage from your mac/touch it is sent from your email address. If you want to continue the conversation on your phone you'll have to add the email address to Settings>Messages>Receive At on you phone. Also, if you want to be able to continue a conversation started on your phone on on your mac/touch, you'll have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID on your phone and set it to your email address. This way the conversation is sent from your email address on all your devices, an replys are sent to the same email address. This will be simplified with iOS 6 later this fall.

TS2755 I've moved to a different province so now I have a new phone number. How do I change/update imessage with my new phone number and delete my old one?

I've changed my phone number since I got my iphone 4S. Now when I imessage, my old phone number shows up as the contact info. How do I delete my old number and add my new phone number?

Apps and media are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
You cannot transfer from downloads from one AppleID to another, nor
can you merge AppleIDs. If you wish to start using your own AppleID,
you will have to redownload all the items you wish - paying again under your
AppleIDfor anything requiring payment.
Logout of iTunes under your old ID and login using the new ID.

How do I change my iMessage from sending from my email instead of my number? I went into settings and where I'm suppose to change where I send and recieve from it doesn't say anything about changing to a number but changing to another email account.

WHen you go into iMessage settings at the top it will say your email account you are using for iMessage, press that and it will give options. Press sign out and it will use your current phone number if you're using an iPhone, if you're using an iPod then it will turn iMessage off. P.S. it doesn't sign you out of your itunes account for iTunes and all that, just for iMessage

HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESSAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY IPHONE 5

HOW CAN I BLOCK SMS MESAGES FROM AN SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER ON MY I PHONE5, THANKS

You can't. Contact your carrier and ask them if they provide such a service. Most carriers do not, unless the text messages are threatening or harassing, but you can ask.

Imessage sending from email not phone number, why!?

I use imessage from my macbook, ipad and iphone and have selected my phone number to start new messages, through this Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive but still my messages send from my email.
Any thoughts on what I can do?

When I turn back on all devices, where it says "you can be reached by imessage at" both my phone number and apple id email are checked, but only phone number for "start conversations from"
If I uncheck my email from the "you can be reached by imessage" section it sends only from my phone number via iphone and ipad (yay!) but I can not log back in to my messaging on my computer now...
Does my email need to be selected in order for me to do this?

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 sending from email not phone number from my Mac?

So I bought a macbook pro and i at the time had an iphone 4. When i started the messages app on the macbook, it prompted me to sign in and everything and then i could send imessages as if they were from my phone number. Then, i got an iphone 5 and all of a sudden the messages from the macbook were being sent from my email, not my phone number, and I have no idea how to get it back to sending from my phone number. HELP?!

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.
