My ipad is sending texts from my email instead of my mobile number. iPhone 5s and ipad 3rd generation

My ipad stopped sending texts from my mobile #, I have an iPhone 5s. It now sends texts only from my email.  How do I add my phone number back on to the ipad?

Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>check (select) your iPhone number in there - if it is appearing. If the phone number does not appear, try turning Messages off on both the iPhone and the iPad. Restart both devices. Turn Messages on the iPhone first and activate it. Then do the same on the iPad and hopefully the phone number will be accessible again.

  • How do I delete apps from the cloud as well as my device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2)

    I am using an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.  I want to remove apps from the devices as well as the cloud list. (Not on this i***). Help!

    To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with iOS 7, after hiding apps on my computer's iTunes I've been needing to log out of my account on my iPad and then log back for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
    If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.

  • Since I upgraded to iOS 8 my messages are now coming from my email instead if my phone number.  I've attempts to change in setting but can't get it to switch back??

    How do I get my messages to come from my phone number again instead of my email?  I have attempted to fix in the settings but it will not let me?

    Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
    1) is your Apple ID listed there?
    2)  Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
    3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

  • I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and face time. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime shows my email to send and receive instead of my mobile number.

    I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and facetime. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime is using my email instead of my mobile number. How do I reactivated message and use my mobile number on both applications?

    I apologize. I misread your statement.
    The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

  • Hi, everyone. I just got new ipad2 with 3G now (the one before didn't have 3g) and I was hoping to send texts from my ipad. Not happening... Any reason why?

    I just got another ipad, now  with 3g . I did hope I'll be able to text from it...not happening. The address goes idle/red with a red exclamation mark. I spent 15 min with Apple on the phone. Didn't help. Can I really send texts from IPAD2 with 3g?

    The email to which you are sending it to may not be correct. You can only send it an Apple ID with that email. For example, I could try to send it to my friend Bob who frequently uses the email bob@sample_email.com but his Apple ID may be bobby@sample_email.com. Maybe that helps?

  • My iPhone has suddenly started sending texts from email address. Any ideas on how to fix?

    Hi my iPhone has just started sending texts from email account. This only happens when the text is sent to other iPhone users. Weirdly it jumps between normal text address and back to email. Any ideas?

    When I turn iMessage off, it sends from my phone number.  When I turn it back on and check the caller ID, it has my phone number checked, however, when I start texting again, people are still receiving the messages from my email.  Any advice?

  • 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:
    If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best Regards,

  • Copy text from an email

    I just purchased my first iPad, although I have been an Apple user for years. My question is this...I would like to copy and paste text from an email into a document for saving, or just save a whole email as a .pdf. Is there any way to do this easily? I can't seem to copy and paste from an email on my iPhone and am a bit cofused. I would also like to copy and paste certain passages from books, or web sites. Any suggestions as to the best apps to do this type of thing? Thanks

    I've noticed that as well.
    We are way OT now, (gee we never do that .... ) but the most recent upgrades to iCab Mobile have caused some issues for me. I constantly have to sign in again here the ASC if I go longer than 30 minutes or so without posting. That never used to happen before the latest update to iCab. Could be something I'm doing wrong, but if it is, I haven't figured it out yet.
    Have you explored iCab's settings (of which there are about 5000 ) could be something added there on the last update.

  • Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

    Why can't iPad mini send text to non apple users????? I wish I knew this before purchase

    iMessage is from Apple to communicate with other Apple devices.
    iPad is not a phone and does not have SMS/MMS services from a carrier. There are apps that can do this, search the App Store.

  • Sending text messages to email addresses

    With my previous (dumb) Samsung phone I used to send text messages to email addresses all the time and everything was fine. Now, it turns out that when I send a text message to an email address with my iPhone 4 the phone sends it as MMS instead of text, and the problem with that is that my provider (Bell Canada) charges me extra for these MMS messages. I do not normally use picture or video messaging, but when I'm trying to create a message to an email address with MMS disabled, the phone tells me this cannot be done unless I enable MMS.
    I can receive texts from email addresses just fine and they come in as text messages with no extra charges for me. How can I send a plain text message from iPhone to an email address without going through MMS?

    Dododo, I have your same exact problem, right down to my last cell phone (samsung) that did it perfectly using only my included unlimited texts.
    Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I think it sends them as MMS because bell sends the texts to email from the iphone as words on a notepad-like background that arrives in email as a picture attachment.
    My problem is that I'd like to turn my 3G off when I don't need it, to save my mb's. Therefore sending emails right from the email app is not a viable alternative, when text --> email used to be free on my old, basic cell phone.
    Any suggestions/solutions are appreciated
