How can I send imessages from my phone number instead of my email?
My phone reset and now my imessages only send from my email address instead of from my phone number. I tried settings> messages> send and receive and unchecked the email listed like i saw to try on previous questions, but instead of fixing my problem, it just made it so that now i cant send imessages whatsoever! How can i fix this? I just want to send imessages from my number instead of my email address!
Hi gracem0324,
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and click on your Apple ID and sign out of Messages. Then sign on again. Sometimes it needs to reset itself....

My Phone Number not appearing...
My phone number is not appearing in contacts or settings as other users claim to be seeing. I just noticed that iTunes shows my Phone Number as N/A on the summary tab. I could have sworn that it listed my number earlier.
Any ideas?Power off/on. My appeared after doing this.

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.

My wife and I shared an Apple ID, I have closed out the iTunes on her iPhone and her iPad. While trying to set up a new iTunes account when I enter her email address it says we have to select a new email address. I have checked and her email is not associated with my iTunes account and really do not want to establish another email account. Any suggestions?
Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

TS4268 IMessaging on iPad mini to "iPod registered to email address" user
I have an android phone and a Macbook air running 10.7.5. I recently bought an iPad Mini and am trying to use iMessage on it. So far noone with an iphone has responded to any messages I have sent! so I am wondering if it is working….
I have 2 Apple ID"s - one for itunes and one for icloud (but I don't use icloud). My Apple ID for the ipad mini is linked to a non-icloud email address and my android cell #. When I go to the "receive at" option for messages on the iPad there is only one option - my Apple ID email address. I realise I can't use my cell# to receive iMessages as it is not an iphone, but why is there no field to enter a phone number (if I did have an iphone) showing up?
I want to iMessage from the iPad mini with someone who uses Ipod for iMessaging, but even though I use their registered-to-iMessage email address, when I enter it into the "To:" field, it turns red, and I get a message that their email "is not registered with iMessage". I know they are already using it to iMessage other people so what am I doing wrong???Do you have another Apple ID? If so and if that is the email address that you are trying to add, it is not going to work.

Is there a way to add a phone number instead of email on ipod touch
Only if you have an iPhone using same Apple ID for Messages
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage -
cannot print to my HP eprinter from Ipad--error message says invalid email address. This has always worked until just recently
iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. -
diesel vdub or ANY uncertified/certified Genius
Heres my problem. I dropped my iphone 4 s and now when I send an sms, if it goes as an imessage the recipient says its coming from my email address & not my phone number. 1- how can i change it back but also 2- is imessage usually sent from phone number and not email correct? Should I re-sync my phone? Additional info: iMessage says I can be reached for messages at 2 addresses, my phone and email, the email cannot be removed. PLEASE HELP IM OCD ABOUT MY PHONE AND THIS ISSUE IS DRIVING ME MAD!
helplessandhopeful,
HannahTo identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address. Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage. If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

How to use imessage from my ipod and have it come up as my phone number, not my email?
how do i get it to use my phone number and not my email?
If you have an iPhone with Messages enabled, on your iPod touch open Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, and tick your phone number and unmark your email address. Doing this, you will send and receive messages from your phone number, so you will get the same messages as on your iPhone at the same time

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me...... -
When attempting to send text message from iPad I get error message "phone number not registered with iMessage REMOVE" the number is for iPhone an includes area code and country code. How do u register a number with iMessage?.

The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage. The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage. Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.
