Hey emdiers,
I see that you are experiencing a messaging issue on your iPhone. It sounds like you are unable to send SMS messages as well as being unable to send iMessages from your phone number, is this correct? If so, when you turn off iMessage, you will not be able to send any messages whatsoever. Have you found this to be the case? If so, this article has some advice on how to address this issue:
Contact your carrier
If you can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages, contact your carrier to check your text messaging plan.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

IMessage sending from email instead of phone number

After 5 months of using my iPhone, my iMessage has switched to sending from phone number to sending from my email on the iPhone 5S (Software ios 8.1.3). I have already checked my settings, which state it should be sending from my phone number. In fact when I have deselected my email address as an alternate for iMessage, my messages will not send at all. I have rebooted my phone as well as signed in and out of iMessage and iCloud. I don't know how to fix this issue, any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Imessage sends from email account not phone number?

There are 2 receiving options for messages (phone number and email account) but there doesn't appear to be a send option. All my imessages are sent from email not phone but sms from phone. Can this be changed?

did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same issue... I sometimes only provide an email address to people whom I wish to receive messages from so that they are not able to actually call my phone... recently I've been hearing from friends who do have my phone number that all of a sudden my messages are being sent from my email address. My 'start new message' option has ALWAYS been to send from my phone number. I have always assumed that if someone started a conversation with me by sending to my imessage email address that when I respond to them and them only would it come from the email address...
this has not been happening...

Imessage sending from email not phone number, why!?

I use imessage from my macbook, ipad and iphone and have selected my phone number to start new messages, through this Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive but still my messages send from my email.
Any thoughts on what I can do?

When I turn back on all devices, where it says "you can be reached by imessage at" both my phone number and apple id email are checked, but only phone number for "start conversations from"
If I uncheck my email from the "you can be reached by imessage" section it sends only from my phone number via iphone and ipad (yay!) but I can not log back in to my messaging on my computer now...
Does my email need to be selected in order for me to do this?

IMessage sending from email and not phone number.

When I send an iMessage it sends from my email address rather than my phone number how can i change this to being sent from just my number as when people reply they are going to my email and not my iPhone??

Go to your contacts and look up your own contact. To check if you have created an "I", which mean a "yourself" go to "Settings - Mail, Contacts, etc.". Under Contacts you will find "My Infos".
At this point you should see your own name. If not, press on "My Infos" and create yourself on your iPhone. (Phone number, etc.). If you see your name at "My Infos" press on it an check if you have typed in your correct phone number.
You can also go to Settings - Phone and look up if your number is saved under "My Number".
I hope this will help you.

IMessage sending from email not phone number from my Mac?

So I bought a macbook pro and i at the time had an iphone 4. When i started the messages app on the macbook, it prompted me to sign in and everything and then i could send imessages as if they were from my phone number.

Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.

Cant stop imessage sending from email phone no is greyed out in message/settings/send

Hi,
I message is sending messages from my email address. I have tried going in to settings/messages/send and receive which is currently defaulted to my email but my phone number is greyed out and cannot be selected.
How do I sort this?

Hello LouLouN,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are not able to configure your iMessage settings to include your phone number, due to it being greyed out. This issue can usually be resolved by simply turning iMessage off, restarting your iPhone, and then turning iMessage back on.

IMessages sending from email address after updating to iOS 8

Sorry if this has already been answered im struggling to find it..
so I updated to iOS 8 today.. And now my imessages are appearing to the other person as an email address. I went onto my message settings and at the bit where I can be reached my number and email are there.. even though my numbers greyed out its still got a tick next to its name.. And at start new conversations it's only my number.. I tried to untick my email but when I done this it I couldn't send iMessages. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi Aimstaa,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the way Messages, which are sent from your iPhone, are displayed on another device. It also sounds like your iPhone is configured correctly, so the other device will most likely need to update your contact information or try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below.

Override default send from email id and attachment name in email delivery

How to override the default send from email ID and attachment name to send an outbound document using Email Transport protocol in Oracle Integration B2B ?. I've seen that "[email protected]" and subject of the email message were used as send from email ID and attachment name respectively

Ramesh,
I set the send from email ID as Generic Identifier for host and send to email ID as Generic Identifier for trading partner and used it in the agreement. How ever still the email message is generated with "[email protected]" as send from email ID.
However I noticed that the "FROM" field in the wire message is updated with the correct send from email ID which I used as the Generic Identifier for host.
Please advise.

My iMessage is sending from email instead of my phone number. I have tried to change it back by going to settings messages receive at and it won't let me click on my phone number. Please help!!

My IMessage is sending from my email, and I am recieving
Messages thru my email. I have tried to fix this by going to Settings > messaging > recieved at> and my phone number pops up along with my email. It will let me click on my email, but my phone number is greyed out and I can't click on it.i have also tried caller id, which still didn't fix the problem.
Trying to kill two birds with one stone, my phone also says that I have no storage left. I literally have 3 apps installed on my phone. Facebook, Twitter, and instagram. I only have 52 photos, 0 videos, and about 115 songs. I know for a fact that I shouldn't be out of storage, because I have friends with the same iPhone 4, that have 400 pictures, a thousand songs, and page after page of apps. I want to know what is taking up all of the storage, and what can I do to get rid of it. Thank you in advance

Sorry G23 - I like birds ;)
I suggest you start another thread as I don't know the answer to that one but this might help:
Go to settings - general - usage - Her e you might find some data hogs
Good luck

Imessage will ONLY have option to send from email. Phone number is greyed out... Please help

Hi,
I have tried all of the tips and tricks for getting my imessage to send from my phone number, not my email but I am not having any luck.
The option in the message settings has my phone number greyed out and my apple ID has my phone number stored. I am not sure why this is happening and would really appreciate the help.
All imessages sent to me do not get to my phone because it seems to be disabled.

Hi Myf!
I have an article for you here that can help provide you with troubleshooting steps for this issue:

IMessage sending from my email?

I recently switched to an iPhone 6 (from a 4s) and ever since, if I text someone else with an iPhone it generally pops up on their phone as my email address, not my cell phone number. Anyone know why and how to change it?

It has always been this way. The iPhone can use its phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. But other idevices have to use their Apple ID.
You can change to just your phone number in settings, iMessage, send and recieive.

IMessage sends from different email addresses

iMessage sends messages from different email addresses when it used to just say my name associated with my cell number. How can I change it back?

Try this:
Sign out of iMessage on all devices. Sign back in on your iPhone. Wait until it is completely activated. Then, sign back in on the other devices using the same Apple ID.

Hi,..
I have two questions regarding sending resp. sending mails from / to XI.
A) is it possible to attach several files as attachment to mails sent via the mail adapter?

If , yes how can I achieve this.
B) What happens with attached files, when the mail is sent to the XI mail adapter?
Thanks in advance,

IMessage sent from email address rather than phone number...

I'm having similar problems with my iMessage update under iOS 5. When I send text messages to other iPhone users, it appears as iMessage and from my email address rather than my phone number. I went into Settings > Messages > Receive At, but there's no option to add my phone number. It keeps showing my Apple Account, which I registered under for iMessage and iCloud with my email address. It only allows me to add another email address. From what I can tell, non-iPhone users are still receiving my text messages from my number like regular. If I turn iMessage OFF, I'm sending regular text messages to all users. Anyone have a fix yet? I'm wondering if this was an Apple goof that won't be resolved until the next iPhone update.

What I am curious about is, how do I know if what I'm sending is coming from my number as a text message or as an iMessage with my Apple ID. I'm really asking this specifically because, I have friends overseas who I have been texting..now we have iMessenger.. but how do I know it's not being sent as a text instead (therefore costing me money)? Just because it's being sent using their email?
I've used a Blackberry before, and they have their texting & BBM as two seperate applications with two seperate icons...kinda hoping Apple had done the same here :/
Any help would be great thanks
