Why are my text messages being sent from my e-mail?

Just recently  I reset the password to my apple ID and ever since it has been sending text messages through my e-mail. I will open my text messaging app but my friends are still telling my i am texting them through my email. I tried lookinng under my measaging settings and for my icloud it had my email selected and it would  not let me select my phone number.

Hey Bgrossman,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID (email address) in your iMessage settings:

To sign out of your Apple ID
1. Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
2. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • Why are my text messages not delivered from Verizon Customers to my new provider?

    I ported two numbers away from Verizon and now Verizon is apparently blocking text messages from Verizon customers to my new provider.
    I can get texts from AT&T, Sprint, TMobile, and anyone else. Unfortunately, I cannot get texts from Verizon customers.
    I have been right next to a friend with a Verizon android who texted to my non-Verizon android, and it never got through. My new provider says that this is not uncommon.
    I have been on with Verizon tech support, and while they are nice enough, they have not been able to fix anything.
    Verizon, please take responsibility to fix this!

        rowdyonez, thanks for helping us support Frustrated_Former_Verizon_Cust with information regarding how to resolve their text messaging issue. Let's make sure that this isn't a memory capacity issue. The first thing that we recommend is to delete all unwanted text messages and power the devices off/on to soft reset. Keep us posted. We can assist right here in this forum, too.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

  • Are my group messages being sent as MMS instead of SMS?

    Hi there! I just have a quick question about text messaging on my iPhone. I read here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760) that "some carries automatically convert group messages into MMS" and that "group messaging is sent either as an SMS or MMS"
    See, I am a new postpaid subscriber. And my plan only includes unlimited text messaging (SMS) and data use. I usually send out group messages to 50+ of my colleagues when I need to remind them about something or ask a question. Are these messages being sent as an MMS, or as regular text messages? I fear I may be getting charged hefty sums for texting.
    Thanks!

    Why don't you check with your carrier. They would be in a position to better answer that question than a group of users from all over the world.

  • Multiple messages being sent and received in Mail

    When I send a message in Mail, the activity bar indicates that three messages (for example) are being sent, but the Sent folder indicates that only one was sent. When a message comes in, I am notified that 18 messages (for example) are arriving, but the Inbox contains only one new message. I know that Mavericks has a few problems with Mail, but I’ve had Mavericks since a couple weeks after it was released, and the Mail problem only started a few days ago. Earlier, I had been receiving a number of warnings in another email programme that messages were being sent from my accounts that were not being received and that I did not send. Fearing that these accounts had been hacked, I installed 1Password and changed all my email passwords. I think, but am not sure, that the Mail problem began about the time I started using 1Password. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

    This is with iMessages only.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and below the Start New Conversations From, select your cell phone number instead of your Apple ID email address.

  • Why are my group text messages being sent as pictures

    My group text messages are being sent as pictures or images and I don't know why. It just started happening, I've sent them before without to the same people without this happening. I can sent text messages to each person individualy and they are delivered as text. Is there some setting I can change? 

    HI. I had the same thing the other day. I sent a link to 40 people and got charged for 40 picture messages. I phoned my network provider and they said it is an apple fault (iphone).
    If you send a group 'Text' to more than 6 people, the iphone somehow marks it as a MMS or picture message. I get free texts and was shocked to be charged, but they did look into my messages and could see it was not an image and refunded me.
    If they are right, its an apple problem. Can anyone shed sme light on this?

  • Why are the text messages people are sending to me also being sent to my sisters phone?

    I just set up my new iPhone and as soon as people started sending me text messages, my sister realized that they were also being sent to her iPhone. She can read my text messages as well as reply to them. This is a problem because she can read all of my messages, and when she replies to my messages, my friends think that the message is from me! Please help me fix this ASAP!

    are you using imessage ?

  • Why are 4s text messages sent as MMS?

    I don't have an iPhone 4S, however, more than one person has sent me text messages (only text, no pictures, video, or audio) using their 4S and they are always sent as multimedia (MMS) messages instead of SMS. It seems to happen when they compose a new text, but when they reply to one of my SMS messages, it replies as SMS.
    It's quite annoying, especially since I don't have a plan with unlimited messages and MMS cost me something like a quarter a piece... for something that does not have any multimedia content.
    So what's the deal? Is this an iPhone issue, or only an issue with specific carriers? I haven't asked which carriers my friends use, but I believe it's Verizon and/or AT&T. I don't believe it is an issue with pre- 4S iPhones.

    If the sender is sending out multiple SMS's at the same time, this could be the problem. Most carrier's will send multiple SMS's as MMS...nothing a sender can do about this, except not send multiple SMS's at once.

  • Why are the texts that I receive from others (with apple products) grey in my message screen?

    Why are the received texts in my messaging gray??  The ones I send are blue. My rec'd texts used to be green before ios7. Is this normal??

    Those may be iMessages.
    If you send normal messages those will be in green color.

  • Why are my text messages (not iMessages) being received by people I don't know?

  • Why are my text messages saving on my iPhone?

    When I swipe my screen to the left and the search is on the top, text messages from months ago and also recent ones are showing up. If I type in a certian word, all of the text messages that the word was mentioned in come up. When I try and click on any of the messages, it just brings me back to the last text I sent. Is this a virus? How can I stop my phone from doing this?
