I'm successfully sending and receiving iMessages however recipients are saying that they are coming from my Apple ID rather then my phone number. Is there are way to coprrect this?
Info:
iPhone 4S
So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number..

After transferring a number from a previous carrier to a new carrier, I can no longer receive iMessages from my telephone number. People can only iMessage me if they know my Apple ID. I've tried restoring the phone, but I'm always faced with 'error' in the iMessage settings window.

This issue started with the last iOS update and has affected not only my phone, but my wife's and father in law's as well (we all have the exact same model) When I attempt to send a text message to my wife, my phone suddenly won't send imessages anymore. Only text. I have tried rebooting my phone, and my wife's phone. We have even tried wiping our phones and restoring them from backups. The problem still persists, wether we are at home connected to wifi or out of the house on 3G. The only way I have managed to send my wife an imessage was by creating a new contact with ONLY her e-mail address. That only worked once. since then, its trying to send everything as SMS again.
This is unacceptable as we live in an area with very poor celular coverage and rely heavily on wifi connections, therefore we won't receive an SMS until our phones get access to the celular network. All other apps and phone functions are working correctly across all 3 phones mentioned. On both my phone, and my wife's, I have double checked to ensure that iMessage is still turned on. I suspect that this is a global software issue seeing as it only started once we updated our phones to the latest iOS. My question is this:
Prior to the update, we were all able to send iMessages to eachother, regardless of where we were. The only time we'd have an issue is if someone's phone was turned off or not connected to either the celular 3G network or a wifi with internet access (which is natural).

recently, I used my uncles iphone 4 to imessage my friends. my uncle recently decided to give it to me and get himself the new iphone 4s. Since its from out of country, we went to unlock the iphone 4 and got rid of the old sim card and he got a new sim card with the old phone number (same number for iphone 4). my problem is that im scared he'll be able to receive my old and new imessages. I had deleted them on his old iphone and reset the whole thing twice.the problem is that on the old iphone, I did input my own apple ID to send messages, but I realized later on that it was using the PHONE NUMBER as the CALLER ID. Sure the messages still synced into my iPod 4g and back and forth.
I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. Is it possible that when he activates his new iPhone, the old imessages would show up on his phone as syncing? I really don't want him to get his hands on my old messages. I heard that sometimes, two iphones that had the same sim card or phone number tend to send to each other messages as if it was one phone and that concerns me. btw both phones have the new iOS 5.1.1

I got a new phone number and I changed my AppleID passwords and everything so now I want to get my Imessages on my Macbook air, but when I go onto my iPhone 5s it will not let me change from the old AppleID to the new one so I can have the Imessages on my computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an iphone 4s. Suddenly I was no longer able to receive imessages and the messages I sent to other iphon users were sending as text messages instead of imessages. I did a network reset which didnt work. Then i went into settings and toggled the imessage button. After doing that it now allows me to send imessages as an sms but says i can only be reached for messgaes at my email address and won't allow me to choose my phone number to get messgae. So now I can send imessages but they apepar to come from email account not my phone number.

What happens to messages sent via iMessage or as text messages if the recipient's phone is off? Are they queued and resent when the phone is turned on? Or do they end up in the bit bucket?

I just did the iOS 5.1 update on my iphone 3gs yesterday. Now, my iMessages (both sent and received messages) between me and anybody are being sent to my boyfriends iphone 4s even though he isn't included in the text. We both use the same itunes account, but the password for itunes is different than the password for my email that the account is tied to. I've never had this problem since iMessaging came out last fall....For the time being I've just shut off my iMessages.

I have an iphone 5, my fiance has an iphone 4. Our imessages to each other aren't working. I can get them and send them to other people on my contact list and so can he. I am up to date with software and he says he is too but we can't communicate via imessage. This has been happening for several days now. I have tried signing out and back in, turning the phone off and back on, and have tried other troubleshooting issues I have seen online but nothing is working. We can call each other and Facetime but can't imessage ....

I had to reset my phone this weekend and lost all of my text messages due to not backing up to icloud for an extended period of time. I'm attempting to get my contacts back in order and have been using my AT&T detailed bill to get some old numbers but the phone numbers associated with text messages sent via imessage are not showing up. Is there any way to retreive those numbers?

how to disassociate my phone number from the Apple ID?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI keep receiving iMessages from an unknown number. Because I am receiving iMessages, I know the user must have an Apple ID. I have reason to believe this is a secondary number/secondary SIM card of someone I have blocked, so I am curious: is there any way to determine the person's Apple ID if all I have is their number and the random iMessages they have sent me?
