Whenever I send someone a text, I'm told that it shows that "[email protected]" is sending the text and not my phone number. And when someone responds to "[email protected]", I receive the message on my computer and Wi-Fi only iPad, but not my iPhone. Is there any way to only send and receive messages from a phone number?

In your Settings go to Messages> Send & Receive and you should be able to set your preferences from there. Go to the "Start New Conversations From:" section and set your phone number to be the default.

If your phone number does not appear, turn FaceTime off and on. Phone number should show up

    Thanks! For some reason my phone number didn't appear in the "Start New Conversations From:" table. I tinkered with it and by chance tried turning "iMessage" on and off and my number appeared there.

Go to

  • Settings
  • Messages
  • Send & Receive
  • Uncheck the email address(es) just leaving your phone number checked.

You should be good from there.
