On my iphone in settings under messages send/receive I have three addresses- my cell phone number and it is checked, my regular email address and it is checked with and I in a circle next to it and the third one is my email@icloud, also checked with an I in a circle.
start new conversations is my cell phone number that is checked and the two emails but they are not checked.
Also- another note-When my husband puts me in his contacts and tries to put my email address in it changes It from email to work or home number
More than likely, your husband is trying to add your phone number to an email designated field in contacts.
What app are those recipients using to open the message that seems to be an email? The Mail app? or Messages?

    I have a new iPhone 6.  I am having trouble with texting.  Why do my texts go out from my email instead of my cell phone number?  How can I fix this?

    Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Start New Conversations From
    Make sure your number is checked.

  • My iPhone is sending text messages from my email account

    I just did the new iOs 6 update on my iphone and now when i send text messages they show up as coming from my email account rather than from my phone.  Is there a way to change this?

    Go to settings/messages and make sure you have send as SMS turned on.  Then in send & receive make  sure your phone number appears there.  When sending messages while you are connected by wifi it will go view imessage

  • Sent text message to my email comes back as text message

    I need to be able to print out a text thread.
    So I edit and spend 3 hours individually selecting each thread, (have to keep starting over because any miss-tap results in all the selections being lost), then forward the thread to my email address, (which happens to be the email address associated with my iTunes account, [what a bizzare concept]), and it quickly lands back in my text messages from myslef.
    help please

    I would do that in one of two ways:
    1.  Select the text message, copy it, and paste it to an email message to yourself.
    2.  Take a screen shot of the text message (which you can do by holding the home and on/off buttons together for a brief instant.  Then send the resulting screen shot from the camera roll to yourself via email.

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhone

    I have an iMac desk top, iPad, and two iPhones. Someone (a family relative) has somehow copied text messages, and possibly emails from our iPhones, and sent them to other people. He has had access to my wife's iPhone numerous times. Can I check our iPhones to detect any surveillance apps(bugs) on them?

    Whose Apple ID are you using? It sounds like whoever co-opted the account may have changed the security questions as well.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

  • My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

    Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
    The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
    Thank you.

    Thank you!
    I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

  • Which phones can be sent text messages?

    Which phones can be sent text messages?

    On the iPad the Message app will ONLY send iMessages to other iOS Devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) that have activated iMessage.
    There are 3rd party apps, such as Free Text, that will allow sending text messages in SMS format to other devices.

  • HT5824 can i find text messages in iCloud?

    Hi there!  Can I find my daughters text messages on iCloud?

    No.  Don't know anything about it, but there is a service that may be of interest that claims to allow parents to monitor their children's text messages: https://cp.teensafe.com/users/iphone.

  • I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    I send an email from my Iphone to a friend.  My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message.  She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number.  Why?

    We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it.  I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend.  Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id?  My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone. 
    My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
    For instance:  her phone number might look like this:  (493) 305-3958
    and her email address would look like this:  [email protected]
    If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message.  Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine.  It's completely crazy!  We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine.  Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?

  • How to backup text messages in iCloud?

    Hello everyone,
    Just before the release of the latest iOS upgrade, i want to know whether we can actually backup the text messages on iCloud or we need to do any third party installations to do the process. I have a lot of text messages that are need to be retrived back after the upgrade.
    Thanks

    Those settings only reflect the things you have the option not to include in the backup, not everthing that is backed up.  This article explains what is backed up:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859.  You will not that is says, in part:
    You get 5GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    Messages are included in the backup, they just don't appear in the setting you are looking at because you don't have the option to not include them in the backup.

  • Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

    Why is one iphone displaying the text messages of the other 2 iphones in my house?

    That would be imessage and not text message.
    As stated by sberman, it's because the users are sharing apple id.
    On each devices - settings - message - send&receive- remove or uncheck the apple ids.
