Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
Thanks in advance!!!

I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to make a call

Does facetime use the email address or the phone number to place a call

Depends on what the receiver has set up on his or her device.
Also depends on the device. iPhone uses the number, iPad, iPod touch uses Email. But can be set up for phone number too if the person has an iPhone.
Hope this helps.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

HT201342 how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox. To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
Thanks in advance.

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

Why does my iMessage say I'm sending from my email instead of my phone number

When I text to some people with imessage they tell me that they see my apple id instead of my number how can i change so that when i text them they see my number instead of my apple ID?

Thank you
