I want to find out how to add my phone number to ichat. Only my email is working
You could have been storing your Favorites using the Windows Favorites folder (displayed in Internet Explorer using the Favorites menu or button), or you might have been storing your Favorites using the Yahoo! toolbar.
For IE Favorites, Firefox tries to import them to the Bookmarks menu. This is available on the classic menu bar or if you have the compact two-column menu, from the orange Firefox button or a button on the toolbar. These articles might help in tracking down these imported Favorites:
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Import Bookmarks from Internet Explorer]]
For Yahoo Favorites, you might need to use the Yahoo! toolbar for Firefox to access those. Do you already have that displayed? You can turn on/off the display of toolbars using one of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar (or the new tab "+" button)
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars -
My iMessage is only allowing me to select messages to be sent and received from my email. If my number is an option, but it will not let me select my number, how do I get the iMessages to be sent to my number and not my email?
Try ejecting your iphone from iTunes and then close iTunes. Now retry. Hope this helps.

This might be a stupid question but I'm quite concerned that my phone bill will be sky high because of it.
Hi mlemonache,
Here's a blip from the IOS Message support site:
On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
Here is a link to the site:

Hope this helps!

My Iphone is sending imessages from my email address. I can see that my phone number is stored in the sned/receive option in imessage but it will not allow me to select the number for messages to be sent from my phone number instead of my email address. How can I fix it?
Have you tried to sign out of your apple I'd and sign back in to associate your apple ID with your phone number?

I would like to be reached at my iMessage with my mobile number and not my email address
If you're finding that iMessage & Facetime is showing your email as default & your number is greyed out so can't select it then try signing out of iMessage & Facetime & signing in again.

How can I get my phone to send IMessages from my phone and not my email ?
I had the same problem, but it was only doing it to one contact. I found an answer that worked for me in a previous post. Go to settings/messages/received at and then click on your apple id on the top of the screen and log out. Then log back into your apple id account by going to the messages screen and choosing to log in. You will want to turn your imessage off and back on again once your logged back in to reset it. That should work. If that doesn't fix it there is also a caller id option on the bottom of the same screen settings/messages/received at and make sure your phone number is selected rather than your email address. I hope this helps.

How do I fix my iMessage to work with my phone number?
Two days ago, my iMessage randomly decided to stop working. I am abroad in Asia right now so I have been using iMessage to keep in touch with friends and family at home (US) when I am connected through wifi.
My issue is that under the "Send and Recieve" in the iMessage settings, my phone number is not listed. Originally, it was greyed out and not selected but after going to an Apple store here and rebooting the settings, the phone number disappeared all together. I have turned off/on wifi, airplane mode, imessage, facetime, date/time, etc. I know the Apple ID is registered with my phone number because when I choose to sign out of my Apple ID and the sign back in under the iMessage settings, my phone number and email are selected to be used. But when I click Next, only my email is shown.
I will be abroad at least a few more weeks and would really like for it to work here again. I'm afraid it won't work when I'm back in the US as well. Any suggestions on how to fix this?Correct, my cellular data is currently off. I don't think this will solve my problem because I was able to use iMessage before without my data and only on wifi. If nothing else works, I will try this. But I would like to try to find a solution that doesn't require me using data.

How can I send imessages from my phone number instead of my email?
My phone reset and now my imessages only send from my email address instead of from my phone number. I tried settings> messages> send and receive and unchecked the email listed like i saw to try on previous questions, but instead of fixing my problem, it just made it so that now i cant send imessages whatsoever! How can i fix this? I just want to send imessages from my number instead of my email address!
Hi gracem0324,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and click on your Apple ID and sign out of Messages. Then sign on again. Sometimes it needs to reset itself....

Problem with iMessage contacts being separated by phone number and email
Hi all, sorry if this thread is a duplicate of another, I've seen some that are similar but none seem to match the exact situation I'm having.
Me and 3 other friends have a group iMessages thread where we talk to each other.
We each have several devices: ie. I have a Macbook Air and an iPhone 5S, one has a Macbook, an iPhone 4, and an iPad, etc etc. Essentially we all have a mix of devices which we can use to read the thread, all using the same Apple ID and with our phone number added.
The problem is, every so often and for no discernible reason, someone will send a message and it'll start a new thread: this usually happens on my iPhone but occasionally it happens on my Macbook. Sometimes, what has become 2 threads on my phone will be only one thread on my Macbook, and vice versa. Same applies to my friends. However, sometimes what has become 2 threads for them is still only one thread for someone else, as though some of us have gone "out of sync".
When you compare the contacts in the 2 threads, they are IDENTICAL (can't stress this enough, the contacts themselves have not been duplicated), however when I look at the same contact from one thread, their phone number will be highlighted in blue. In the other thread, their email address will be highlighted in blue.
Therefore the problem seems to be that devices are unable to bring together an iMessage sent from a contact's phone with one sent from their email. If the information for both email and phone number are correctly filled in for a contact, why can Messages/iMessage not realise it is the same person and bring them together?
The problem is, sometimes a message sent from the same device will first be sent from the phone number, then the next will be from the email address (or rather, everyone else's devices are seeing it that way, they're not doing anything different than usual, just typing in the thread and pressing send). Its as though the device is choosing one then the other, seemingly at random, and iMessage doesn't seem to be able to add them to the already existing thread but instead creates a new one as the "source' is different. Is this behaviour intended? Surely it can't be.
Is this something to do with the "You can be reached by iMessage at" setting in iOS. One of us needs to be reached by both his email and phone number so we can't just all turn off the email on our phones/iPads for example.
Is this a known problem? Is there something we can do about it? Is it ever going to be fixed?
We've tried other messaging programs but they're just not as well integrated as Messages, and obviously being able to switch between my phone and my Macbook is hugely convenient.
Any help would be much appreciated, we're now at the stage where we have 2 iMessage threads and a backup LINE group chat for when things are completely unfollowable due to every other message going to the duplicate thread.
Thanks in advance.When you go to Settings>Messages do you see your Apple ID at the top? Also, when you go to Settings>Messages>Receive At do you see both your email address and your phone number listed?
