Phone number not listed in Imessage Caller Id

Okay i'm having a problem with my texts being sent as my email address using Imessage instead of my phone number.   The problem is when I go into settings, messages, received at ect....  My phone number isn't listed there.  It only has my email!  It also doesn't allow me to select the email to delete it.  My phone number is listed under phone in the phone settings, and will also show up as my number if I turn the imessage off.   The country seems to be set up correctly and I have verizon so I can't take out a sim card.  Any ideas on how to fix this? 

Just thought I'd let everybody know how it finally got resolved 1 week later!
After trying absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Apple support, apple forums etc told me to do, the only thing that worked was turning iMessage off, waiting for at least 24 hours at then turning iMessage back on.
It activated itself within a few minutes, no dramas at all!
Hope this helps!

    The iPad is not capable of sending an SMS message so texts, pictures, etc., must go through iMessage.  The destination device must be registered with the Apple servers by turning on iMessage.  Therefore, the user with the iPhone must enable it for iMessage.

  • How do I delete a phone number (not mine) from iMessage

    Hi,
    We live in the US. Somehow an international phone number got into our iMessage account. And to top things off, somehow our personal information got replaced with name that is Chinese. I have since changed my Apple ID and password and reset it on all of our Mac hardware.
    I cannot get rid of this internaltional number from iMessage. I can delete email addresses, but not a phone number. I've tried reinstalling OS X, turing iMessage and iCould on and off. Nothing works.
    How do I delete the phone number?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    hi,
    Open a Finder window.
    Use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter (cpy and paste) ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
    Find the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and the com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and drag both to the Trash
    Restart Messages.app.
    You may find you have to reset the iMessages account but the "Aliases" should have gone.

  • IMessage waiting for activation. Phone number not listed in Send and Receive at?

    I'm going to try to be as descriptive as possible, as I'm not too sure what else I can possibly do to resolve this issue.
    3 or 4 days ago I requested a number change through my provider. Not knowing that I had to turn off iMessage whilst waiting for the change to occur, I left it on.
    Later that day my friends were complaining that I was sending them texts from two different numbers, one being my new number, one being my old number. The thing is, I'm using the exact same SIM card and it's a little unusual to have two numbers for one SIM. I then realised that iMessage is ONLY registering my iTunes e-mail address and OLD phone number as an option to 'Send and Receive at'. I have spoken to Optus (my provider in Aust.) and Apple, I have gone into an Apple store, had the phone replaced, restored newtwork settings, restored phone altogether, turned on/off iMessage and Facetime, checked date and time, made sure my correct number is listed in Settings > Phone, etc etc etc I've done EVERYTHING listed in all forums that I've read from people experiencing this same issue.
    I can choose to select my old phone number in iMessage, and can then send messages to others using iMessage from the old number, and if I switch it off, I'm then using SMS to send messages, and it's from my new number again! It's very frustrating not having all features on my phone working correctly.
    If I switch iMessages and Facetime on, not using my Apple ID to sign in, it simply says 'waiting for activation' and after a few hours, tells me it was unsucessful and to try again. I'm all out of options now, Optus don't know what to do, Apple don't know what to do and I don't know what else to do! It's been 4 days! Someone please help!?

  • Phone number not listed in Messages accounts post OS Mavericks updated

    I updated to OS X Mavericks, and now my phone number is no longer listed in the Messages accounts.
    So when I send messages from my phone, it creates a new thread using my email and those messages do not show up on my phone.
    Likewise, messages that are from my phone are no longer updating from my computer.
    Any suggestions on how to reconcile this?
    Messaging back and forth from my phone and my comp were working simlessly prior to me updating to OS X Mavericks.
    Is this a known issue? and is there a solution because it's annoying.
    Thank you,

    iCloud and Messages (or FaceTime) are not linked.
    You can have any Apple ID and "register" it for use with Messages for the iMessages side.
    Same for FaceTime
    In fact the Apple IDs for iMessages and FaceTime and iCloud can be three different IDs

    Very true, howevere if you use the same apple id for all 3 of them then it should work as it did for me.  Its worth a try.

  • I can't get imessages to recognize another iphone. Bubble turns green. the phone number is listed in contacts under iphone.

    I can't get my iphone to recognize another iphone while imessaging. The bubble will not turn blue, it remains green. I have tried tapping it and it wont change. The phone number is listed in contacts under iphone.

    Make sure your iMessage is activated. If the other person does not have a good data connection, iMessage will recognize that and fall back to a SMS. What you list the person's phone number as in Contacts does not matter.

  • Receive iMessage at Phone Number, not just e-Mail?

    When I send iMessages, it just appears from my e-mail address, not from my phone number.  When, I go to settings > messages, I can only "Receive At"  xxxx @ email .com as well, there is no option to add a phone number. 
    How can I make myself available to be "reached for messages" at my phone number instead of (or, in addition to) my e-mail?  I also have an iPad. 
    iPhone is running 5.1 
    Help please!

    Try turning iMessage off, wait a few minutes, the turn back on.  Then see if your phone number is available for your Caller ID setting.

  • Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
    If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.

  • Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

    Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

    Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
    Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
    I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
    My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
    i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
    SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!
