  • 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....

  • How do you send an iMessage with my phone number, not an email address

    Ever since I have had this iPhone on pay as you go with Vodafone in September, I have not had an option to use my phone number, it doesn't bother me as such but my friends get annoyed as one hour I'd reply on text as their contact and the next it will use iMessage when I have Internet as my apple Id email address. How do I do this!!!!

    There is no option, just emails. I signed out of apple Id and signed back in, it asked me to use either my number of email so I deselected my email but the phone number was greyed out, it hasn't activated again so I don't think it has worked.

  • How to get my Name in the From Field instead of email address?

    For an Exchange Activesync account, how do you get your friendly "Name" to show in the From: field rather than email address ([email protected])?
    I seem to be able to do this fro IMAP/POP accounts but not Exchange Activesync.
    All the discussions I've found about gmail and Activesync seem to be centered on getting your messages to show a different return email address than your exchange account. I'm not looking for this, just to show the Name.
    Thanks

    If you add a contact ("Contacts app>> "+">> enter info) with that email address, it will appear in mail with whatever name you set in the email address' contact.

  • How do I get phone #'s to come up instead of email addresses when trying to send a MMS?

    I just got my Galaxy S4 2 days ago and was trying to send a picture from my gallery as a text message to a friend.  I know I can start from messaging, and then attach the picture, but I was already in the picture, so clicked on the messaging icon from the picture, and when I started typing my friend's name, it only brought up her email address, not her phone #.  I didn't want to email her, I wanted to send it to her phone as a text message.  The only way I could do this was to start typing her phone #, instead of her name.  I don't know a lot of people's phone #'s by heart, so I don't understand why it isn't bringing up phone #'s when I start to type the person's name?  I had the Droid Razr before, and that's how I always sent pictures.  When I started typing a name it would bring up phone #'s and email addresses to choose from.  If anyone knows how to change this, I would love to know how!

    Try this:
    Click on the Contacts icon
    Select the Menu key
    Select Settings
    If the Only contacts with phones is checked, uncheck it

  • How can I set the default in "Write" to display several email address instead of just one?

    Like to see more than one person on the Write screen at a time. The default seems to move the first one up.
    I would rather like to have at least four be able to be seen without any scrolling of addresses. Am familiar with config editor if necessary.

    On my system it was set to the default of 3 address fields. When I went into the config editor and modified the line quoted above to 5 and restarted Thunderbird, the next time I open a Write window I have 5 address fields.
    Only after I fill those 5 fields does the first field scroll up and out of view.
    Yes you can drag the bottom edge of the subject field down to show more fields but this is not permanent. The next time you open a write window it will show the number of fields set in the config editor.

    Setup is in the "Settings" menu. The FaceTime app is built into the telephone application and can be accessed via the contacts list if available for use between you and your recipient.

  • Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

    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.

    i cant receive imessage vis my mobile number ...i can thru my email....i did everything possible .

    I apologize. I misread your statement.
    The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

  • How do I set a limit to the number of registrants to an event form?

    How do I set a limit to the number of registrants filling out an event form?

    PLEASE add this feature. as far as I can tell there are no option out there that serve this need. FormAssembly, EmailMeForm, or FormsCentral. Think of how many customers would use this. Imagine a t-shirt company that pre-prints inventory, wouldn't they want to limit how many forms could be submitted that want a size L shirt? My business is participant based, like the evnt question above we need to limit the number of participants. Of course I could program my own solution, but then I would miss out on all the other cool FormsCentral features. Any chance this could be added right away if I sponsored it as a custom development?
