use mobile number as default for messages
my iphone 11 brings up my son's email address rather than his mobile number when I start a text to him. How can I change it to bring up his mobile number?

I apologize. What you should see next to your son’s name (assuming he’s in your Contacts) is a greater than sign, not an “I”.
I see that > symbol next to all the other names that show up but not by his name. It’s just a blank space. I’m going to delete his contact and re-enter it with just his mobile number
thank you for your help
Tap the circled “I” to the right of his name. Then choose the iPhone telephone number if you wish.
There will be absolutely no difference in the message transmission.
Thank you for that solution- but I don’t see an “I” to the right of his name. I only see a “+” that lets me add another name to the text message
