Message Comes To My Phone As Text And Email

If your friends and family are saying you're sending them text messages from your email or both, then something is wrong with your settings. This tends to occur when you purchase a new phone, or sometimes when you update your device.

Androids and Iphones work differtly and have different operating software and firmware. So both systems have to have software on them so the can read one another and that happens to be note pad.

Luckily there is an easy fix that you will find below.

Your conversations might be split into multiple conversations because your texts send as an iMessage are perceived as being from a different sender that those send as SMS what an Android uses. Because you as the iMessage sender are not directly affected by this issue you are probably not aware it is happening until a frustrated colleague or friend points it out to you.

For an I phone his settings are not set correctly configured. His caller ID setting is only visible if you have more than one thing listed in Receive At on I phone or I Pad. (The reason is that if there is only one Receive At option there is no reason for having a Caller ID setting as there is only one option for your ID.) I’m not sure what your problem you are trying to solve, but if you enable i-message and it is verified, you will see both your number and the email address associated with your Apple ID listed in Receive At, and the Caller ID will be visible so you can choose which one you want to use to identify your outgoing messages,.

The phone number and email address are in the correct fields in their Contacts card, but Messages chooses the email address instead of the phone number for Text Message: I checked other contacts, and all of them have a phone number in the Text Message field in Messages, but a few have two Text Message fields, one with a phone number and one with an email address.

The iMessage Issue

Every time you send an iMessage from your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Mac to someone they receive it from the email address you used to register your iCloud account instead of your phone number.

This can be very confusing for the recipient for a couple of reasons:

1. The recipient probably doesn’t have that specific email address linked to your name in their address book and so instead of your name, your email address will appear as the sender.

2. Your conversations might be split into multiple conversations because your texts send as an iMessage are perceived as being from a different sender that those send as SMS.
