My imessage sending from a random number

I have saw the question online, and no one ever resolves it. but it happen to me now. pls help.
I have already tried everything. nothing worked. 
when i text people,  NUMBER shows up  in my imessage is a Random number. people will start to ask who is this when i use i message.
it is checked in my text setting. no matter what i do, it WON''T show my REAL number. it  Only happen when i use imessage.  Normal call or texting are all fine.
In my phone, it shows my normal number. nothing is wrong except imessage.  I checked my sim card, this number now showing in my imessage, is part of number that print on my sim card.  but NOT MY PHONE NUMBER.
There is NO solution I can find online.  pls don't reply  unless you have solved the exact same problem.
Don't let me try any turn off, on,  restore, ##23865#, ect,  IT WON'T Work.
i am using a sprint iphone 5s.
thank you very much

I tried reseting and restoring the phone. No success. Im just going to try and put ioS6 back on it.

  • 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

    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

  • How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

    Hi believer924,
    Happy Holidays!  What version of Mac OS are you working with?  The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage.  On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
    This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
    On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
    In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
    OS X:
    Phone number missing on OS X
    If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
    If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, 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 out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    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 > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

  • 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 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 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?

  • IMessage sending from my email?

    I recently switched to an iPhone 6 (from a 4s) and ever since, if I text someone else with an iPhone it generally pops up on their phone as my email address, not my cell phone number. Anyone know why and how to change it?

    It has always been this way.  The iPhone can use its phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. But other idevices have to use their Apple ID. 
    You can change to just your phone number in settings, iMessage, send and recieive.
