Iphone sending messages but phone number not showing

Hello,
My phone is sending imessages to my contacts, but it is showing up on people's phones as coming from my email and no matter what I try to do, my phone number just isn't working. My cell service is on and wifi too, I don't know how to fix this.
Any help would be nice, Thanks!

  • Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not.

    Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?

    If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

  • Why is my phone number not showing up in iMessage?

    I have a MacBook running 10.8.2 and iMessage does not have my iPhone number as part of the account.  I'd like iMessages sent to my iPhone to also show up in iMessage on my MacBook.  How do I get my phone number to show up in my Apple account on my MacBook?
    I tried logging out of my Apple account on my MacBook, then logging out of the same account on iPhone, then disabling iMessage on iPhone, then enabling iMessage on iPhone and logging back into the Apple account, then logging back into the Apple account on my MacBook.  That didn't bring my phone number into iMessage on my MacBook.

    Hi,
    Actually that is not true
    The Message Beta app Synced Apple ID iMessages but not iMessages sent to the iPhone Number.
    This effectively made those iPhone to iPhone conversations private.
    It did seem the Mountain Lion advertised that the iPhone Number syncing would happen on release but we had to wait to OS X 10.8.2 and iOS 6
    I dis the Mac OS first and then the iOS devices.
    I got pop up messages to say the Message app on the Mac would be using the iPhone Number (with Accept or Not options)
    I was able to keep my second iPhone Unlinked from the Messages app.
    I know some people are waiting on updating the Mac OS for some non Apple Apps to be updated.
    Others are waiting on the iOS front for something to replace Maps with.

  • MY phone number not showing above phone keypad

    When I was at the Apple Store tonight, buying my new phone, Mr. Orange Shirt did something so that MY phone number would show above the phone keypad. It's gone now and I'm not sure what I did. It's a new number, and I liked having it so accessible.
    Help! How do I get it back?

    The number that shows above the keypad is the number you dial. Your own number will show at the top of the contacts list. A quick way to get to the top of the list is to tap the top bar where the time is shown.

  • New iPhone phone number not showing in iTunes

    Hi,
    I bought an iPhone 5s today and after syncing my iTunes content from iTunes to the new phone I've noticed that my new phone numer isn't showing like it did with the 3GS. The phone itself is showing up ok, as is my music content and apps,  but the phone number isn't. Its not a big deal but I thought I'd ask all the same as it might help someone in the future.
    Thanks.

    This happened to me also.. Got me concerned when I didn't see my number in iTunes.. After a couple days (could have been less, I didn't notice) it appeared again. It was working fine so I didn't really mind. I don't think though that it has anything to do with the VM seeing as my VM had been working fine when I noticed the number missing.
    Anyway, it works now so...

  • Phone number not showing up in imessage and FaceTime on ipad or mac mini

    I have the ipad, Iphone, and a mac mini. I am confused as to why my phone number is not showing up in imessage and facetime  on my mac mini and ipad. I had it set up but for some reason it is not working now, it just shows my apple sign in email address. How can I fix this?

    Hi, sarahr1987. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is a troubleshooting resources I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • Phone number not showing up in Imessage

    I use to be able to send receive messages with my Ipad using my phone number instead of my email. Now the phone number isn't even listed anymore. Everything on my Iphone is fine. All my id's are listed on that device. I have done a hard reset on both devices. When I go into setting-imessage-send receive. I only have 1 email listed. Any suggestions on what else to do? I have seen other discussions on this subjet. Many talk about caller Id but I don't see that in my options.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help. I had to add one more step to your suggestion. First time around it didn't work. Second time I decided to turn off my wifi and run only on the cell network. That seems to have helped.
    Once again thanks for your help

  • Send Messages from phone number?

    Is there a way to link my iPhone cell # to my Messages account? The primary issue is, what if I am sending a message via Messages to a phone number, but for whatever reason data isn't working and the message mst be sent via regular SMS. In that case, the message will never be sent and I have to revert to sending the SAME message from my phone.

    At this time, you cannot link your phone number to iMessages on an iPad/iPod/Mac.  That feature is coming later this year.  You can only send/recv iMessages to emails.  You can, however, add the same email to your iPhone for the time being.

  • My phone number not showing

    I seem to remember ticking a box that kept my landline calls anonymous which seemed a good idea at the time but now I realise that everyone does the same as me and simply ignores my calls (I know we don't answer 'withheld numbers).
    I cannot find anyway of rectify the situation or indeed any correct term/description to enter in a search to get help.
    Please does anyone have any ideas on how to change my number from withheld to the number?
    Thank you in advance

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

  • My iPhone 5s will send messages, but not receive them. Replies show up on my iPad. How do I fix this?

    Anyone know how to fix imessage and FaceTime issues with iPhone 5s?  I can send messages, but replies only show up on my iPad, not my phone. Can't FaceTime at all, just on iPad.  Says "waiting for activation". Or "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again."  And a screen comes up "iMessage Activation. An error occurred during activation. Try again."  If I try to log in with my Apple ID, it doesn't work, either. Same problems for FaceTime.
    I have tried all the "fixes" I found on another thread, nothing worked. This is a replacement phone. My first one had problems with the touchpad not working, but the messaging and FaceTime were fine. The touchpad works on this phone. Any suggestions?

    Fixed!! My cellular/internet provider had to do a restore and now it works

    Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.
