Why do people see my email when i send imessages instead of my phone number

I recently had to erase my phone due to me forgetting my passcode and every since I erased it, my imessages will not work properly. By this I mean, I cant sign in with my apple id. And when i did someone manage to get it up people were saying that my old phone number was showing up. Then I tried to reset again and then email keeps showing up. I've tried everything I can and nothing will make it work properly.

Go into Settings>Messages>iMessage and see if it is activated. If yes, then turn it off. Then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After the phone has restarted, go back into Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it on. Make sure it activates, and then go to Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is listed there, is grayed out and has a checkmark by it. If you do not want to use your Apple ID for iMessage, you can tap on it to remove the checkmark.

Why does my Apple ID show up when sending messages instead of my phone number?

When I send a message from my iPad mini and my iPhone, it shows up under my Apple ID to the receiver, why does it do that?

My phone number and email address are both marked and its checked to start new conversations from my phone number.

I shared my iCloud address with my mums phone but now when she sends iMessages or facetime, the phone thinks it's me how do I stop this please

I Shared my iCloud address on my mums new phone then deleted it but when facetiming or sending iMessages it uses my number

As I wrote, it seems as if your number is still associated with your mothers device for iMessage and FaceTime. That's why asked you to check the menu:
"Settings > Messages > Send & Receive"
"Settings > FaceTime"
Furthermore, yes, I would recommend setting up her Apple ID/iCloud account on her device in "Settings > iCloud" + for the above mentioned iOS Settings. Of course, it would help, if you insert her sim card with her number, too.
Yes, this combination should fix the issue.

You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

I want to see which products are included with my CC subscription - e.g. do I have a Prosite portfolio website or would I need to pay for an additional subscription?
Is this a temporary site issue or an on-going problem?

I have an iPhone 5c and when i try to IMessage my contacts if they have an iPhone it sends it off of my email instead of my phone number what do i do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 5c recently updated with iOS 8, i am having problems with my IMessage. when i try to IMessage my contacts, instead of sending the IMessage from my phone number the message is sent with my email. i also cannot be in a group chat due to me texting off of my email. i don't want this to happen.. what are ways to fix this so i no longer can text off of my email.

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

Hey mims1212,
Thanks for the question. You can configure what address you start new conversations from on both devices:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Please note that this will only work for new conversations, and will also be affected if another iMessage user starts a conversation with you (ex. if a friend sent you a message to your phone number, you will still receive that on your Mac, and you will be replying from your phone number).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Problem with Thunderbird email:
When I send email using a mailing list, with my email included in the list, the message shows up in my Sent list and others receive it but it does not come to my email Inbox. The same problem occurs when I send the email to the mailing list addresses individually. When I send a simple test message to myself, I do receive it in my Inbox. Can you help me??

Are you using either cc or bcc? Is googlemail involved? Some email providers suppress cc's and bcc's to oneself since you will have a copy in your Sent folder.

When I ask Siri "What is my phone number?" Siri shows the incorrect #. It gives me a contact in my phone, which obviously isn't me. Why is this and how can I fix it?

In your settings... you have the "My info" VCARD selection with someone else and not your info... just change that and yo'll get what you're expecting to hear when you ask Siri that...

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

When I send txt msgs from my phone the message shows on the recipients phone as if it came from my gmail account. What causes this? I'd like to correct this because when I receive their reply it sometimes shows up as an email.

I go into Messages there is a Send & Receive selection. My email address
is showing. I select Send & Receive and mu phone and email address is
there. A check mark is next to my email address. Is this the problem? I
was unable to remove my email address. I tried to remove my email address
but the response is "This email address could not be removed."
Thank you for your response. I will stand by for your next request or
instructions.
