My iMessage shows my email not my number

I got a little frustrated because none of these solutions worked for me. I finally called support and here's what worked to allow iMessages to be sent to/from my phone number:

1. Turn off iMessage (Settings > Messages > un-click iMessage)

2. Reset Network Settings (Settings > General > Reset > click "Reset Network Settings") **this will NOT delete any photos, phone numbers, etc

--- This will cause your phone to turn off and restart

3. Turn back on iMessage (Settings > Messages > click iMessage)

4. Select phone number in iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > click on your phone number under "Start New Conversations From")

Voila! It should now work! 🙂

If it doesn't, I'd recommend calling support (611). 😉

WOW! Thank u so much!! This one finally solved my problem!! 🙂

What I did was I went to my iMessage settings and signed out of my iCloud. That turned off iMessage and allowed my phone to verify my new number AFTER changing it in the store and making sure my number was set as an iPhone in my contacts. After I restarted my phone it worked.

this worked for me! I think when I switched phones I remember tampering with this or being prompted about imessages and then.... it never went away. Thanks!

Thank you very much!! Your method worked for me and my iPhone 7!!

I have the same problem how to solve this!! :(
