  • People are getting my email instead of contact name?

    Not sure if there is a way around it or not, but whenever I start up a conversation through text on my iPad and I haven't previously had a conversation going for it to show up on my iPad, people get my email address instead of my number which would be in their contacts with my name. So essentially they'll ask who this is, I'll explain and I say to merge the two contacts. Just that is a hassl, is there a way around this at all?
    Under messages in the settings, under Send & Receive it has my email address which I can remove if I want, would that get rid of my email address when I send a text and they would supposedly be getting a text thru my email instead of my contact number? On both my iPhone and iPad I have that email under Send & Receive, if I deleted it would people stop getting my email address for a text or FaceTime (also happens for FaceTime) and just get my number instead (and if my number is in their contacts practically my name)?
    I Just got a new iPhone a few weeks ago and haven't been experimenting heavily until the holidays now. Plus I got a iPad a few days ago. So that's why I've been getting these problems.
    On another note, if it helps at all, my iPad has cellular for AT&T.

    Does anyone know at all?

  • Iphone 6 imessage shows email not phone number occasionally

    i have an iphone 6 on verizon network. its only 1 week old and just started showing my email instead of phone number. But the catch is it only does it occasionally. Any suggestions?

    I am also having this issue. It started when I upgraded from a 4S to iPhone 6. The cause does seem to be the iPhone 6 switching from my phone number to my email. Another symptom is that on my iPad and MacBook Pro, iMessages sent after the iPhone switches do not sync. I do have both my phone and email as valid recipient addresses for iMessage, but my phone number is checked for "Start New Conversations From." Also unchecking my email address as a valid recipient address is not an option (this is a requirement for FaceTime->iPhone Cellular Calls).

  • Text Messages show email instead of phone number..Help!

    When I send a text, it is ID as coming from my email instead of my phone number or the contact info.  I have already gone into settings, messages, receive at, caller id and my phone number is checked...but still having the problem...any suggestions?????

    go back into settings at the received at and log out of your email and see if that works.

  • When switching my CallerID to my AppleID, my iphone shows numbers instead of contact names.

    I recently bought a shiny new iPad 3, and decided I want my imessages in sync between my iphone (4) and my iPad. To that end, I switched my callerID in my iphone settings (settings > messages > Receive at > Caller ID) to my apple-id, and made sure it's the same between my ipad and iphone. The syncing works beautifully and I'm very happy about it.
    However, my iPhone started showing the phone number instead of the contact name for imessages. I verified, on my ipad it shows the name still. My address book is synced via iCloud, and my contact's aren't duplicated. (Each phone number is unique)
    When I set the callerID back to my own phone number, it correctly shows the name, but my imessages aren't in sync anymore. Really annoying. Is there anything I can do to force iOS to always show the contact name instead of the phone number in messages?
    EDIT: some "regular" sms contacts aren't showing their names either after switching. Very strange.

    I had this problem since i restored my iPhone 4 onto my iPhone 4s. turned out to be a corrupted address book database on the phone.
    deleting the database @ /Users/Library/AddressBook (all files starting with AddressBook) (while Addressbook NOT running and when iCloud sync and iTunes sync both off) and re-run address book to create empty database before re enable sync solved it!

  • TS2755 iMessage won't disassociate a contact that no longer has an iPhone

    My son recently changed phones.  He no longer has an iPhone.  No matter what I try, other than turning iMessage completely off, my iPhone still wants to send a text to him as iMessage.  This is blocking group messages from going through. 
    This is what I have tried so far:
    disassociated his iPhone from his Apple account
    turned iMessages off on his old iPhone
    turned WiFi off on his old iPhone
    turned his iPhone off
    deleted all threads with him in my messages
    removed his contact completely from my contacts
    turned iMessages off on my iPhone
    restarted my iPhone
    As soon as I turn iMessages back on, it registers his number as an iMessage text instead.  I was on with tech support with AT&T for over an hour and the only thing that worked is leaving iMessage off on my phone.  Please help!  I am at a loss. 
    Thank you!!
    Kim

    He changed his Apple ID password and now my iPhone is no longer associating his number as an iMessage contact.  Score!!  I hope this helps someone else. 

  • Why is my Messages app showing numbers instead of contacts?

    So my iPhone 4S had a dead pixel so I got a replacement from the Apple Store. I set it up, loaded my iCloud backup and imported my contacts. Texts showed up, labeled as numbers and not as the contact that corresponds to that number.
    Consequently, when I message someone, like John Smith in Messages, the header will no longer show up as John Smith, but as his number. Any fixes?
    Important note: this bug also occurs with iMessage, and it's insistent on adding a 1 to the number. Not sure if this is the case with calls.

    I am seeing a similar problem. But only on two contacts, my wife and son, who both have iPhone 4's with iOS 5. I have added the phone numbers to contacts multiple times, but the keep reverting back to phone numbers and once from number to the name.

  • IMessage show one of my contact old number

    I am using a MacBook Pro and when i click on a contact it show old and actual number from a contact. I tried to delete this person from my contact and then add but it still shows old and actual number only on iMessage.

    If you can provide more details maybe someone can help....
    Any error Messages? What happens when you try to message with them? Is their device turned on? Have you had contact with them other than through an iOS device?

  • TS3398 I have lost my contacts that were entered into my iphone in addition to those that are synced from my exchange account. Iphone is only showing email addresses, no contacts with phone numbers.

    Two days ago my phone locked up and when I could access again, my contact list was only a few names and email addresses.  ALL phone numbers wiped from the phone.  I have been using google sync for three years to sync contact and calendar to gmail and then sync gmail to iphone, and it has been seemless.  I would think this was the problem, however the contacts and phone numbers that were added directly the phone are no longer on the phone either....which point to a phone problem.
    I went home, to update but ended up having to "restore" from backup, which I did.  The contacts were visible for less than 24 hours, but then disappeared again the next day.  I have tried forums for google sync as that would solve a large amount of the contacts, but I still can't seem to find a solution for the other contacts added directly to the phone.
    are there any new glitches/issues with the iOS 6 that cause this problem?
    phone is 3GS.
    thanks.

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

  • Recieved SMSs showing numbers instead of contact names

    Hi
    My iPhone 4 shows only numbers starting with +20 (Egypt's International code) with recieved SMSs and the only way to show contact names is to add +20 to all of my contacts (with an app) but that would make recieved "calls" show numbers and not names !!!
    Any way to fix that ?

    Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

  • IMessage problems: Email instead of mobile number?

    Someone please help me ! i was told to fill out this and im not sure how to ! im in asutralia NSW and i need help with this or just help with gettting my imeesage to send as my number...

    It should have picked up your mobile number anyway once you activated your service, then turn iMessage on.  If it says "waiting for activation" there are some other things you could try, including:
    Go to Settings>General>Date & Time, make sure Set Automatically is set to On.
    Be sure you are able to send and receive sms messages (activation sends a "silent" sms message to the activation server)
    Change the DNS servers on your wireless router to Google's Public DNS servers (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using).  After successfully activating, you might want to change it back as I've read this may degrade your internet service somewhat outside of the U.S.
    Call your carrier to make sure they aren't blocking premium texts or third party texts (thereby blocking the required sms to the activation server)

  • Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

    Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

    Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
    I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
    That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
    I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
    Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
    Thank you!

    whether your number or email address is desplayed depends on how you have Caller ID set.
