    when I send a text message it shows up as coming from my email address not my phone, can i change this

    another way to change it is :
    go to settings -> phone -> my number (iput your phone number)
    and then do what razmee209 said,
    after you change it, your phone number will authenticate with the operator that you use,
    I hope this could help you,

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • IMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   Laptop

    iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone.   The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
    I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • I recently had to erase my Iphone 5s. Now, when I send texts, it shows them coming from my email address.  I'd rather it just showed them coming from my phone

    I recently had to erase my IPhone 5S, and now it's been restored, and when I text, it shows my messages coming from my email address rather than from my phone # or my name, like they used to be shown.   How can I change this setting back to the way it was?   Thanks

    I presume you can see "You can be reached at ...", so do you only see your email there? (i.e. no phone number?)  If so, then the "send from" may not be an option since your iPhone only has one point of contact, your email.
    If you don't see your phone number under "You can be reached at ..." then sign out of iMessage and FaceTime, then send a text message to any non-iOS friend you know, then sign back into iMessage and FaceTime.  That may re-establish your phone number with Apple's servers.

  • Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating to Iso 6 my iMessages are showing as coming from my email address, anyone know how to fix this?

    I figured out my problem...... I have custom text tones set up for certain ppl and had the default text tone set to "none" well with the iOS6 update it made it so if your default text tone is set on "none" then you won't hear what I call the send and recieve text sounds when in a converstation... if you change the default text tone to any text tone other than "none" you will get your send and recieve sounds back.... kinda annoying if you don't won't random texts from ppl waking you up... so I made a custon text tone that is called silence with just recording a few seconds of dead noise then edited it and turned all the sound levels down to 0 and set that as my default text tone.... now I have the send and recieve text sounds in a conversation and everything is fine! Sorry Nehucskter the first time I had this problem thats the first thing I did was reboot my phone.... first thing you do for everything lol....

  • ICal Alerts Coming From Wrong Email Address

    I'm on OSX 10.8.2 on an iMac.
    I have about 10 different email accounts in Mail.
    I also have an Address Book card set to myself, designated properly as me, with two of these 10 emails listed in the card for me.
    In iCal, one of my calendars is a Google calendar synch ... I get invites that are imported into Google Calendar, and these in turn get synched with iCal.
    Problem I'm having is this... when a Google Calendar entry is set to alert me by email, the email GOES to the right place, but it shows as coming FROM one of my many other email addresses I have in Mail, and I don't understand why.
    So again, I receive the email alert at the right place -- the problem is who the email alert is coming FROM.
    As my Address Book entry is correct, I don't see how I can control this.  In Mail, when I compose new messages normally it's set to choose the email address automatically of the inbox I'm composing the message from.  So, I don't want to set the default here to any one specific email address.  Could this be causing the issue?

    I was having trouble setting the default email account in the mail app. Even moving it to the top didn't seem to work. Finally got it working by doing this:
    If an account mailbox is at the top, but the account is not the default, drag it down and then back up to the top. This will reset the order and establish the top one as the default.

  • Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

    WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name.  This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas?  I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

    Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
    If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.

  • My imessage texts are being sent from my email address and not my phone number.

    How do I change so imessages are sent from my phone number again and not my email?

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

    I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
    I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
    I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • Text message is showing sent from my email address instead of phone number

    I just reset all my settings on my Iphone 4s and now when I send text messages my friends say it is coming from my email address not my phone number. Why is that? Any advice on how to get it back to normal (from my number not email?)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I assume your phone is using your phone number. Select an E-Mail also. Under the Select Area a new Area should show up offering to choose whether to use the number or the E-Mail to start new conversations. Pick the Phone number. Go to iMessage and start new conversations.

  • Why does my phone say a call is from an email address

    When my sister calls or texts or face times me it shows up as coming from her email address instead of the phone number associated with her iPhone 4s. When I text her phone number it does not register as iMessage but when I text her email address it does show iMessage. Similarly, I can FaceTime with her via her email address but not her phone number. Lastly, when I factime or text her email address it shows up on both her iPad and iPhone when she is on wifi. What is going on? This seems really really strange to us.

    Is her caller ID set to her phone number in Settings/FaceTime/Caller ID ->her phone number instead of her mail address?
