My phone is sending my text as my email address instead of my phone number and sometimes doesn't even send the text

Are the messages Blue per chance ?


If so they are iMessages and not SMS


Go to Settings/Messages


Scroll down to Send as SMS and slide toggle to the right


Also slide MMS Messaging toggle to the right


You will now be able to send standard SMS to Android devices (The bubble will be Green) and iMessages to iPhones (The bubble being blue)


iMessages will send to Mac and iOS devices using the phone number and your Apple email account address - its a feature
