Want to send and receive imessages only at my ph number

I'm unable to do this. Currently it shows that I'm capable of receiving/sending via my ph number and my apple id email. I just want to be reached by imessage at my mobile number. I tried removing it but I get the error "This email address could not be removed". Looks like a bug. Is there a workaround to removing the email?


Thanks!

Do you have another device with that email/Apple ID on it with iMessage activated? If not, you should be able to remove the checkmark for the email address. You cannot remove the Apple ID email address, but you can turn it off by tapping on it and that should remove the checkmark. Once that is gone, you are good to go. It will only use the phone number.
