  • Imessage sending via email.

    My iphone 4s is sending my imessages through my email. When I checked it, my number is grayed out and I cannot select it. This has happened before and my friend fixed it, but neither of us can remember how she did and I feel like I have tried everything and have been trying to fix this all night. Please help.

    Sign out and in from iMessage on your phone ... it will fix the issue.

  • IMessage sending as email instead of number.

    When using iMessage, is it normal for it to be sent as an email? My friends with iPhones will txt me and when I txt back it starts a new conversation entirely with my email as the contact. Is there a way to set it to my phone number? When I recieve iMessages it's never an email.

    Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
    What do you have selected for your iMessage Caller ID - your cell phone number or an email address?
    If an email address and changed to your cell phone number, this will not prevent someone you have exchanged iMessages with to address an iMessage to the email address.

  • 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?

    Hey emdiers,
    I see that you are experiencing a messaging issue on your iPhone. It sounds like you are unable to send SMS messages as well as being unable to send iMessages from your phone number, is this correct? If so, when you turn off iMessage, you will not be able to send any messages whatsoever. Have you found this to be the case? If so, this article has some advice on how to address this issue:
    Contact your carrier
    If you can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages, contact your carrier to check your text messaging plan.
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • IMessage sending from email instead of phone number

    After 5 months of using my iPhone, my iMessage has switched to sending from phone number to sending from my email on the iPhone 5S (Software ios 8.1.3). I have already checked my settings, which state it should be sending from my phone number. In fact when I have deselected my email address as an alternate for iMessage, my messages will not send at all.  I have rebooted my phone as well as signed in and out of iMessage and iCloud. I don't know how to fix this issue, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    Hi Aimstaa,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the way Messages, which are sent from your iPhone, are displayed on another device. It also sounds like your iPhone is configured correctly, so the other device will most likely need to update your contact information or try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below.

  • IMessage sending from email and not phone number.

    When I send an iMessage it sends from my email address rather than my phone number how can i change this to being sent from just my number as when people reply they are going to my email and not my iPhone??

    Go to your contacts and look up your own contact. To check if you have created an "I", which mean a "yourself" go to "Settings - Mail, Contacts, etc.". Under Contacts you will find "My Infos".
    At this point you should see your own name. If not, press on "My Infos" and create yourself on your iPhone. (Phone number, etc.). If you see your name at "My Infos" press on it an check if you have typed in your correct phone number.
    You can also go to Settings - Phone and look up if your number is saved under "My Number".
    I hope this will help you.

  • Imessage sends from email account not phone number?

    There are 2 receiving options for messages (phone number and email account) but there doesn't appear to be a send option. All my imessages are sent from email not phone but sms from phone. Can this be changed?

    did you ever get this resolved?  I'm having the same issue...  I sometimes only provide an email address to people whom I wish to receive messages from so that they are not able to actually call my phone...  recently I've been hearing from friends who do have my phone number that all of a sudden my messages are being sent from my email address.  My 'start new message' option has ALWAYS been to send from my phone number.  I have always assumed that if someone started a conversation with me by sending to my imessage email address that when I respond to them and them only would it come from the email address...
    this has not been happening...

  • 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?!

  • Cant stop imessage sending from email phone no is greyed out in message/settings/send

    Hi,
    I message is sending messages from my email address. I have tried going in to settings/messages/send and receive which is currently defaulted to my email but my phone number is greyed out and cannot be selected.
    How do I sort this?

    Hello LouLouN,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are not able to configure your iMessage settings to include your phone number, due to it being greyed out. This issue can usually be resolved by simply turning iMessage off, restarting your iPhone, and then turning iMessage back on.

  • ICloud adds a Last Name to my contact after I send an email - why?

    I record all my Contacts in iCloud without last names, for example I will load 'John Smith' as a First Name, and leave the Last Name field blank.
    When I send John Smith an email via Mail, the Contact Card will automatically change his name to John Smith Smith (ie adds a Last Name field).
    I have one contact loaded as Tom , and after I send him an email, his Contact Card changes to Tom - iCloud adds a to the Last Name field.
    Have been to the Genuis Bar at my local Apple Store and have had no luck.

    It's Apple. Apple has taken to embracing the good old Microsoft paradigm - your OS knows what you need more than you do. Apple won't fix this 'bug' because it's not a bug to them.. it's intentional. If the last name field is left empty, then the field is filled in if possible using info from other fields. I put fist and last name in first name field because I think in terms of first names and I want contacts sorted by first names for my own quick reference. Apple doesn't like my way of thinking, so it has been incessantly trying to correct it for 4 years. Thanks Steve Jobs Jobs.

  • The rescuing for my apple id security question wont send me email, why?

    Please help!

    You guys?  I'm a user just like you.
    The above link I gave you would have lead you to speak directly to apple, over the phone.  If you're having issues with the link, call them directly:  http://support.apple.com/kb/he57
    If you've already spoken to apple, what do you mean they won't send a link?  Only way that would happen is if you can't verify your identity...
