How to change iMessage id from email to mobile number

I Have activated my iMessage account using my email address i would like to change it to my mobile number

I'm assuming that you have an iPhone? If not, then it can't be done.
If you do have an iPhone. Then go to your iPhone...
Settings---> Messages---> Send & Receive---> Make sure that your number is selected. Your email should be there, but I find it best to leave it not checked.
Now on your Mac. Go to your Messages app.
Messages---> Preferences---> Accounts---> Make sure that your number is there, if so make sure it's checked. Just like with what I said about the iPhone, make sure that your email is not checked.
The reason why I prefer to have only the phone number checked/used. Is because there are times that when I send a message, it will some times choose a different means of sending the message. Thus it will be in a different convo window. At least that is the case when on the iPhone. Where as the Mac will keep it in the same window.

  • 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?!

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    From the Messages menu bar, select
    Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    and choose from the menu labeled

  • Imessages come from email not cell number

    I just got a new Macbook Pro and I am trying to make it so that my imessages come to my phone and my computer.  However when I type a message on my computer it comes from my email.  I went to 1. Messages 2. Preference 3. Accounts and then added my cell phone number but it still won't work....can I get some help?

    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, 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?

  • How to change the look of emails on mobile device?

    I am using elaqua mobile template. Its work good on both desktop and mobile screens, but I want to give this template a different look on mobile devices. I tried to use css media query, but Eloqua generated html codes has same class and id names.I mean, if I apply style on one class, it change the whole template. 

    Hi Hammad,
    I just went through this process and though the end result is beautiful, I'm not sure it was worth the time it took to do.
    Media Queries should work.  Here is a portion of the code I used to display the email differently on different width screens.  Note that the "important!;" bit is needed for everything to work properly.  I used a mishmosh of classes and ID's -- I'm sure that could have been cleaner.  If I recall correctly, I had to use h1[class=h1]to fix a bug with either Yahoo! or Outlook. There are some really good resources about responsive design for email at Campaign Monitor.  Search for it and you will find their whitepaper.

  • How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

    How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

    Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

  • How can I fake my FROM email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

    I want to not have to log into my work webmail everyday and I want to just use MobileMe. I have all my work mail forwarded to MobileMe. The problem is that I don't want to ever have to log into work mail to send a message. How can I fake my from email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

    You can't do that with MobileMe. MobileMe's mail servers will only accept senders from their own domains (@mac.com and @me.com). No other senders, not even from configured personal domains, will be accepted.
    You will either have to use your companies SMTP server or, if not public available, your companies webmail.

    Hi,
    As I understand you have a restriction on your PayPal account, unfortunately this is something Skype can't help you with.
    But you can try alternative payment methods: www.skype.com/intl/en-us/prices/ways-to-pay/
    Another option is to let your friend set up Skype Manager account, purchase credit there and allocate it to you: https://support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA10519/What-is-Skype-Manager-and-how-does-it-work
