Hello jacques11,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I understand that your text messages are going out from your email address instead of your phone number. It sounds like the phone number isn't fully activated to use with Messages. So, I would suggest starting by trying the steps in the following support article:

Best regards.
