The cell phone number is registered along with the Apple ID email address when activating iMessage on an iPhone.

  • Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.

    Why my imessage and facetime doesnot send and receive by my phone number.I have iphone4s,ios6 upgraded.

    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at and Start new conversations from. If you never want an iMessage addressed to your registered iMessage email address or addresses, remove the email addresses below you can be reached by iMessage at and be sure to have your cell phone number selected for start new conversations from.
    The same for FaceTime at Settings > FaceTime.

    Are you able to receive any mail at all? If not, make sure that all of your information for mail is accurate in settings again. if you still have nothing, go to your email through safari. (example: www.yahoo.com) If you do not see the emails here either, it is a problem with the password reset server not your mail app.

    Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

    Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.

    You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

    Whenever I send a message to another iPhone user via iMessage it is sending my Apple ID instead of my phone number. Could someone help me with this???

    Check this article: iOS: About Messages
    Additional Information
    You can change your iMessage Caller ID setting on iOS devices in Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID. Note that the Caller ID setting is used only for new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change your Caller ID, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, on iPhone you can receive messages sent to your Apple ID and phone number. A friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if your Caller ID is set to your phone number.

  • HT5395 How do I get my iMessage from my computer to show up as my phone number rather than my email?

    I'm trying to imessage from my macbook air and it's coming up as my email instead of my phone number/contact in people's phones. It changed suddenly and I can't figure out how to get it back to being my phone number. Please help!

    Hi,
    Actually that is Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and the "Start New Conversation From" Drop down
    The Pic is from Mavericks but in the indicated item there is little change.
    Mine is set to my Apple ID.
    It can make a difference if your iPhone Contacts only know your iPhone Number or you don't want them to know your Apple ID.

  • Why is it that when an iMessage is sent to my iPhone phone number I don't receive it on my other iOS devices?

    I don't receive iMessages on my iPad and iPod touch when a person sends me an iMessage using my phone number. Is this how it is?

    @Tommyvercetti, iPod Touch and iPad don't need to have that option, since by default they can only use an email address to send/receive. iPhone needs that option since by default it uses the phone number, so to sync across devices you must change the caller ID to be the email.
    When you say "nothing happened", are you saying that messages are not syncing for you?

  • 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? 

    when you click on send/receive...Should any email address have a check mark beside it? If not will it only send from the cell phone number?
    Thank you

  • Why do people see my email when i send imessages instead of my phone number

    I recently had to erase my phone due to me forgetting my passcode and every since I erased it, my imessages will not work properly. By this I mean, I cant sign in with my apple id. And when i did someone manage to get it up people were saying that my old phone number was showing up. Then I tried to reset again and then email keeps showing up. I've tried everything I can and nothing will make it work properly.

    Go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and see if it is activated. If yes, then turn it off. Then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After the phone has restarted, go back into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it on. Make sure it activates, and then go to Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is listed there, is grayed out and has a checkmark by it. If you do not want to use your Apple ID for iMessage, you can tap on it to remove the checkmark.

  • Why is it that I haven't received an email to reset both of my security questions?

         I've been having my apple id since the year 2011 and not once did I ever try to purchase anything until last year. So I brought my first ever iTunes gift card of $15 and redeemed it in my account. When I tried to buy something, it asked for security questions answers and I simply didn't remember them. I asked for the email to recover my answers or at least change them, but I never got the email.
         Since last year, I've been going online every few months, hoping that maybe I'll get the email, but I never did. I checked all of my emails and I can't find it anywhere. Please help.

    Unless it’s in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from texting to an email address instead of a phone number? It is not an iMessage account.

    My phone will select an email (not an iMessage account) to send a text to instead of sending it to the phone number.  At times it lets me select one of the two but often does not. Especially in group messages.  Any suggestions? It is getting really annoying.

    I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
    I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.
