    Open settings app on your phone
    tap messages
    select send and receive
    uncheck your Apple ID and check your phone number.
    also makes sure SMS is ON

  • My iPhone 5 is sending iMessages from my email.

    My iPhone 5 is constantly sending iMessages from my email. Not only that but I am not receiving some iMessages or any group messages. I've searched for an answer everywhere but nothing is helping! I don't have a 'Caller ID' option on my phone. I am also running thru VZW (if that helps) HELP and thanks!

    Open Settings.
    Go to Messages > Send & Receive.
    Select or unselect as you please.
    Tip: You can un-check your emails if you don't want to send or receive using your email.

  • Contact can only send iMessage to my email, not my phone number

    Since Apple released iMessage my friend and I have been iMessaging. As of yesterday, I can still send my friend iMessages as usual, but she can only send iMessages to my email (I have "Receive at" set to my phone number and email, Caller ID set to my phone number). If she tries to send an iMessage to my phone number, as she did before, it will only send as a Text. All of my other iPhone contacts can still send iMessages to my phone number. We've each tried rebooting and switching iMessage on and off (we both have iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1) without any luck. I realise that iMessage is still technically working with her sending to my email, but we just don't understand why sending to my phone number has suddenly stopped working. Grateful for any suggestions.

    It sounds like something has changed on her end...
    Is she sure she has iMessage turned On? Because that scenario usually occurs when you get an email text from a regular cell phone, i.e. iMessage may be Off on their end.

  • I want to send iMessages from my email address

    I seem to have the opposite problem of most iMessage users. I want my iMessage to use my email address to send messages, NOT my phone number.
    I am currently living overseas, but all of my contacts are still back home, so I want to use iMessage with my email address, since my email address is permanent, while my overseas phone number is temporary. I have set up iMessage to start all conversations from my email address. This has worked for several months, but occasionally it will switch back to using my phone number, breaking up the conversation on the recipient's phone. Although my contacts all iMessage me from their email addresses (to ensure they don't get dinged for overseas SMS), occasionally my phone will receive messages from their phone numbers, breaking up the conversation on my phone.
    iOS appears to choose sending iMessages from phone numbers and email addresses at random. How do I ensure that my phone consistently uses my email address for messages, as it is set up to do?
    Thanks.

    Settings > Message > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From ...
    Of course, this will apply only to new conversations.  If you are replying to something that someone else sent to your email address, then it will be sent from your email address.

    Hi jwol21,
    If you are having issues sending iMessages from your phone number, you may want to double check that your phone number and your Apple ID have been linked and that your phone number is listed under Start New Conversations From. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Iphone sending iMessage to all but one of my contacts, what's going on here?

    So my friend and I can't seem to send iMessages between our Iphones.  I have tried to delete their contact information and delete all the past conversations we have had and re-added them to my contact list.  They can send me iMessages just fine.  I should also note that I am the only one on their contact list that seems to have this issue.  They are able to recieve iMessages from everyone else.  When they were living in Australia we did not have any of this issues.  However, since they have returned to Canada and set up their plan, suddenly I can only send them text messages.  We do not have this issue with anyone one else on our contact lists, this is an issue that exhists only between our two phones.  How can this issue be fixed?

    Does anyone in the community know the answer to this ?
    Alternatively - which email address should I direct this to to get an answer from Apple?

  • Why is my iphone sending messages from my email and not my number?

    My phone will send messages from my email rather than my number. I have gone to the settings to switch it to send just from my number. When i do that, it does not send. What do i do to fix this problem!?

    Hello therealdeal333,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're only able to send iMessages using your Apple ID (email address) on your iPhone. If you're not able to send iMessages using your phone number, first try signing out of iMessage and FaceTime on your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    If you send iMessages from other devices (such as a Mac or iPad), sign out of those as well.
    Then sign back in on your iPhone:
    On your iPhone first, sign back in to iMessage and Facetime.
    Sign back in to iMessage and Facetime on your other devices (if necessary.)
    You can find the steps I quoted above, as well as more troubleshooting help, at this link:

  • Setting up imessage with different email account

    I am trying to set up my daughter's ipod touch to receive imessages via her email address.  This is different address than our apple ID.  I keep getting an error message when it tries to verify the email address.  Anyone having this issue?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Why can't I send iMessages with full wifi?

    Why aren't my iMessages sending?

    Hello Beyoncé,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
    Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more abouttroubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
    Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
    iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
    Restart your device.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
    If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up orforward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
