When texting on my iPhone 4S it's showing up from my email iCloud account instead of my phone #! How can I fix that so those receiving text messages from me show it coming from my phone # not my email?!
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1

Additional Information
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
