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.

    Just do not select the apps that you do not want.  Only select the apps that you do want.

    How do you send a imessage to ipad from iphone

    The iPad must have iMessage registered and enabled, and you need to address the iMessage to an email address that is set up and selected to be used with iMessage on the iPad. If the iPad owner also has an iPhone, an iMessage can be addressed to the iPhone's cell phone number if the iPad owner has their iPhone number selected to be reached at with iMessage on the iPad.

    If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

    If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

    Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

  • HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

    From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
    Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensionsmuch more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
    Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
    Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
    Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
    Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
    Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
    The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
    Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

  • TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this?  i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

    How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory?  I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

    You would have to restore as new.

  • How do you set a contact's default phone number

    I have contacts that have multiple numbers.  I would like to such one from mobile to iphone and was wondering how it is done.

    I think you mean "switch" instead of "such" - you're trying to have the phone number show up as an iPhone in contacts instead of a mobile phone.
    If so, open the contact, click "Edit" in the upper right, click "mobile" and change it to "iPhone".

  • How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

    I used to get imessages using my phone number.  Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one.  Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number.  The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected.  I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice. 
    The imessage is working but only using the email address.
    Ideas?
    Jennifer

    the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
    i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
    but i did sign in on my iphone
    i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
    then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
    i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
    i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
    thanks again
