Texts sent being received as email

I have an iPhone 4S & my son has a 4.
When I send him a text he states that he always receives it as an email.
So, I deleted his email address from my contacts & sent him another text. This time he received it as a text, but he said it was sent from my email.
When I look at my screen the text bubble is blue and it shows it's been delivered. This has occured every time I've sent him a text.
Everyone in my family has an iphone and we use imessage w/o any problems, except between my phone and my son's.
Any idea how to fix this?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

    Why are you repeating the question?
    You are signed in with the same Apple ID.

  • My texts are being received as email

    I have an iphone 4. I just upgrade the software but have been having this issue for some time. Why does my colleague receive my texts in his email when others receive as a text? How do I fix this so he can receive my texts?

    Did your colleague ever have an iPhone? When you compose the text, are the text bubbles blue or green? If this person sends you a text and you respond, how is it going then? Can you check your contact for that person and see if by chance the email address is listed in the wrong area, like the phone number area? These are some things to check. Also, you can power the phone off/on, and do a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Text messages being receive twice by some recipients

    Text messages being receive twice by some recipients:
    I have had a couple of contacts tell me they are receiving text messages I send from the Z10 twice.
    Not everyone thou. I've asked. I'm sending from Rogers to a Rogers user. They both have 9700's.
    Any ideas?

    Just to be clear, while you have to use an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime, you should not be using that e-mail address to receive at or send from since you're using your father's ID.  Later in your post it sounds like you de-selected e-mail addresses that were not yours, which is correct, but I wanted to make sure you understand that you should not be using this ID for a contact point since it is not yours.
    If your father is still getting your text messages from your friends, I suspect that either:
    (a) after making these changes you need to turn iMessage and FaceTime off for a brief period, then turn back on, or
    (b) your friends are replying to older messages that you sent from your father's Apple ID, or
    (c) your father's iPhone somehow has your e-mail entered as one of the possible contact points for his iPhone.
    If the cause is (a) turn iMessage and FaceTime back on since you've already turned them off.
    If the cause is (b) see the last paragraph of my 1st post.  Send your friends a new iMessage and tell them to only reply to that conversation and delete prior conversations.
    If the cause is (b) have your father de-select (or remove) your e-mail address from his iMessage and FaceTime settings.

  • Why are some of my iMessage text messages being received sporadically by my father

    I've searched high and low, but couldn't find any information regarding this particular issue, so if you know of a link in the discussions please show me.  Today my father received 2 texts from 2 seperate numbers by friends of mine.  This is troubling, and isn't the first time.  I am using an iPhone 4 fully updated to 7.0.4. I recently noticed that I was no longer sending messages as an iMessage (blue text color) so I investigated the issue within the settings function and didn't really see any differences there with the exception of the Apple ID.  I've always used my father's Apple ID and only once has this happened, the only difference was that I was receiving his messages from people in his contacts.  It is also important to mention that my carrier is Verizon and that we are on a family shared account with 4 members.  I don't think that any of the other members have ever received any of my texts, but then again I don't know if they are using just one Apple ID (I think they have there own personal IDs).  So it comes to this, do I need my own personal Apple ID?  If that is the case why do they offer the option of selecting what numbers or email addresses to choose to have my texts sent to?  Also in order for me to open an Apple ID I must be the owner of a credit card which I do not use nor do I have, not even a debit/credit card.  Anyway, that's it.  I don't need my personal life spilled into my father's life, we all have enough problems of our own!   Ciao and thanks for any and all help.

  • Why are my texts being received as emails

    I am receiving group text messages as emails, which i have to download to view. why is this?

    We want to get your text messages working properly NickBob! I know it can be annoying downloading the email to view your messages. What is your make/model of your device? When did you start having this issue? What messaging application are you using?

  • IPhone "sent" text not being received by ONE particular phone

    My AT&T iPhone 4 is sending and receiving all text messages from all phones and carriers.
    My friend's Spring LG Rumor recently stopped receiving ONLY my text messages although my phone marks them as sent (no red exclamation point, etc). The Rumor is sending and receiving all text messages from all other phones and carriers, including another different AT&T iPhone.
    So, I can get the Rumor's texts, but it specifically can't get mine.
    Any thoughts or ideas? I have already reset all settings on my iPhone to no avail.
    Thanks!

    Transmission of texts is handled by the carrier.  If the texts left your phone and arrived at other phones, it can't be an iPhone issue.  The only possibility relating to your phone is sending to a wrong cell number.

  • Why are text messages being received as gmail addresses?

    In the last week, I began receiving text messages from my friends that are being sent from their "gmail" address.  Therefore, it seems to replace the other contact that I had in the phone.  Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you

    This has worked for many to solve this problem:
    Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
    Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom.  Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
    Wait a 3-5 minutes.
    Open the Message App to see if they're fixed.

  • TS2755 SMS messages are being received as emails

    Hello.  I have an iPhone 5, and as of a couple of days ago, when I send an SMS text message to another iPhone user, the recipient receives those messages as emails.  Also, if other iPhone owners send me text messages, I don't receive them.
    If I send an SMS text message to someone else (someone with an Android phone, for example), they are able to receive the messages normally, and their messages come to me.
    I tried having a person with an iPhone 4S send me a text message.  Rather than coming through as an iMessage, the message showed up on that person's phone as a normal SMS text message.
    Has anyone seen this issue, and/or had any success in resolving it?
    I'm running IOS 6.1.3, and I purchased the phone about three months ago.

    Messaging between Apple devices is called imessage.  To correct your problem go to settings - message - send&receive - make sure your cell is the defaut.  You may need to uncheck or remove the apple id.

  • Why are some texts not being received on my iPhone but are on my mac

    I just got a new iphone 5C.  A friend sent me some pics in a text and it didn't show up on my iphone.  The text and pics did show up on my mac though.  Can anyone tell me if I have something set wrong on my iphone?

    If it showed up on your Mac, that was an iMessage - not a text message as in SMS/MMS.
    Was the iMessage addressed to your cell phone number or to your Apple ID email address?

  • Task Request being received as email attachments not tasks

    We are using Outlook on Exchange Server and the Office version is 2013.  I was training the employees in the company and showing them how to assign tasks.  I was hoping
    the task would appear as a task request so  they could accept or decline the task request but the email came in with the task as an attachment.
    I found an article which mentioned that it was something to do with Server setting but I cannot find the article again, but this is not that relevant as the article did not say
    what needed to be changed  (the writer was a Microsoft person).
    Assigning tasks is something this company would like to do, but it is just not happening and I would be really grateful for some guidance that I can give them.

    Hi,
    What’s the procedure when you assign task?
    When I assign task to others, they can Accept or Decline this task in the message. If we attach this task as attachment, they will receive this message with task as attachment and just can view this task, no accept, no decline.
    Assign a task
