Can't send messages through my phone number
When I send a message it's sent through my iCloud email and not my phone number. I went into message settings but it won't let me use my phone number as a option to reach me. Please help.
Hey there Kcamps,
If I understand correctly you are indeed signed into your Apple ID in Settings > Messages, but your phone number is not checked for use under You Can Be Reached By iMessage At:. I would sign out of, then back into your Apple ID in both FaceTime and iMessage. That should get your number linked with the Apple ID again:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

How do I send iMessages via my phone number from my iPad 2 on iOS 6
I have an iPad 2, an iPad 3, and an iPhone 5 all running iOS 6. I can send messages from my phone number from the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5 but the option is not available on the iPad 2. I am signed in with the same Apple ID across all three devices. What am i doing wrong???
Here's the go to info on Massages app. Perhaps knowing your own kit you can figure out where the configuration on a device is incorrect.

i have problem with my contacts. I can't send message if the contact didn't send me a message before. How can I add new address?
Hi tizac,
You will want to add them to your Contacts.
There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
Send Message FaceTime
Share Contact Add to Favorites
Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat. You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad). They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

Why mine iphone 5c cannot normal receive message and send message to another phone? I also cannot receive any message form Digi Centre~ I am form malaysia~
Sorry, forgot to add this and I can't find the edit button.
-I am using build: 9A406
-One funny thing I want to add too: when I put the iPhone in the Apple dock and connect it with my PC, I open iTunes and select my phone. There you can see the build, software version,.. But after telephonenumber it says N/A: not applicable.. Something I only just noticed. I'm pretty sure my number was displayed back in Nov. when I first got my iPhone 4S.
And the very last thing: Most of the time I have a very good signal, 4 out of 5 bars. It is only rarely that I have only 1 or 0 bars. -
my brother gave me his iphone and i activated it with my phone number but i can not receive any message and i notice that on iMessage stills appears his phone number, what do i have to do?
Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.
