My iMessage shows my email not my number

This is about my iMessage .. I've seen a lot of discussions about this but none worked for me . It shows my apple id instead Of my number. When I click "receive at" it has no line where I can enter my number it just says add another email adress?

I have tried signing out of my apple I'd and activating iMessage again it still does not say receive at my number.. I have tried practically everything nothing seems to work .. Help please !

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Hey I had the same problem and it is easy to fix you need to go into your apple ID and make sure that under your details u have your mobile number not your home number then it should show up on the messages part in settings receive at 2 addresses (phone and email) and from there you mobile number will be what it sends from :)
