When switching on iMessage I get the iMessage password screen but for some reason my apple Id is displayed incorrectly and therefore I can't verify. How can I change it?
When I use iMessage to another iPhone user, I was told it was my Apple ID that was displayed, instead of my phone number. We are on each other's contact lists but do not exchange email address. Is there anyway to prevent my Apple ID disclosed.
When I turned on my iMessage setting, it automatically used my apple ID/email address instead of my name when I text someone and I don't know how to change it to just my name.
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 5.1 last night and then today when I texted someone else with an iPhone using iMessage, my contact came up as my Apple ID email on their phone instead of my name that was associated with my phone number. This obviously caused a lot of confusion because my email isn't my name and the person I texted didn't know who the message was from. The message looks completely normal on my phone and their contact came up fine but mine didn't work on theirs. I also determined it was my phone that was the problem because I texted another person with an iPhone and the same exact thing happened again. I checked to see if anyone else had this problem and I couldn't find any postings on the Apple forum. So if you are having the same problem and/or know how to fix it,
I can confirm my 4S and all my other devices are not able to activate iMessage after it is toggled off and back on. It simply stays stuck on "Waiting for activation" and eventually goes to "Activation unsuccessful. Turn on imessage to try again". All with no avail. get your engineers on this ASAP apple. More and more people are facing this issue. Devices that are already receiving and sending imessages are unaffected. However when you toggle imessage off and then back on, it does not reactivate. This must clearly be a ongoing issue with your icloud server from yesterdays outages.

How can I change the iMessage account on my phone? I have changed accounts and have changed every other account (such as the store and iCloud), but I cannot change iMessage.
I travel often and change my SIM cards when in Europe. When I install the SIM card, the phone verifies the number with iMessage and it does this for ever, however it keeps the former number. How can I change the number manually after I changed the SIM card?
I have the wrong email address in the imessage field and am not sure how to change it. I have logged in with my own Apple id but messaging isn't recognising it.
both my partner and i have recently purchased an iphone4, when messaging each other some appear in BLUE bubbles and some in GREEN bubbles, why does it change from imessage to text message during the same conversation if we are both registered to imessage services?
I'm having bigtime problems with my facetime and iMessage.. First of all, I got my iPhone 4s unlocked through AT&T, but now I'm stuck with my old AT&T number..

How do u change the registered phone number on iMessage on iPhone? It still shows old number even after a reset and the number is grayed out. I have waited for the change to happen (imessage off), but it still didn't change. I pulled the sim out and waited, but still no change. I am using an iphone 4s and OS 5.1.
Whenever I send a text to someone on my iPhone, they say they receive it from my email, not my number. I looked at Messages in the settings and when it showed my number (above my email) it said verifying. I also looked at FaceTime in the settings and when it showed my number it said error. How do I make it so people receive my texts from my number?
My iMessage shows up as my email address and not my phone number. When I got to settings messages it has my number but you can't change it. The email address is highlighted and number is grey. how do you change it
