IMessage is registered to my e-mails but my phone number is not listed.

I want to enable Text Message Forwarding but my iMessage doesn't have my phone number listed like it has my e-mails. iMessage currently works but I wish to have my text messages forwarded as well. Everything is up to date.

Hi,
In this Original Post you list only an iPhone.
If it is this device that is not listing the iPhone Number then you need to sort that bit out first.
Remove th Apple ID.
Place in Airplane Mode for two Minutes.
Return to the Settings > Messages and confirm the Number Verifies before proceeding.
If a Mac is involved Send a test iMessages (which will be from the iPhone Number only) to the Apple ID (Mac).
Return the iMessage.
Add the Apple ID to the iPhone.
Restart the Mac version to see the Pop ups saying what the iPhone is Using and Accept them.
The Mac version should now show the iPhone number if that is what you meant.
Set the Send From IDs on both Mac and iPhone.
EDIT to lose a plural that shouldn't have been.

I've been recieving text messages on my Iphone 4s, but the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message logs. Anyone know why??

I've been receiving text messages on my phone, but for some reason the phone number is not showing up on my bill under the message log. Does anyone know why?

donnagman,
Thanks for the details. All numbers should show up in the message history log, unless you are communicating via iMessage. When texting the numbers that are missing in the message log are you using your normal messaging app on the device or a downloaded app? Have the numbers that are missing been shown in your message log before?

My iphone is sending messages from icloud and my phone number is not listed in the icloud settings now, just my e-mail address

My icloud used to have my phone number as an option to send messages from but now it is gone and only my e-mail address is there. This never happened prior to downloading the ios 7 update.

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

HT4623 Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage?

Hi Mark, I have 2 iphone but about Why my phone number is not registered with iMessage? I try on/off my iphone but i didn't sucessfull

Turn imsg off/on.
If that doesn't work, I would than backup your data (considering the troubleshooting steps already listed) and "Erase all content and settings" on the device and setup as a new iphone and test imsg out in factory default. Try to activate your phone in factory default. If it shows your number / activates, there may be something in your current settings preventing imsg from operating / activating. If it does not activate, get in touch with carrier.

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

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.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

You do not have a "phone number". Your ipad has a cellular access number and can't make phone calls.
You must use your apple ID email for imessage and FaceTime on iPad.
