Thanks but i already tried that and it dident help.
SMS is a carrier function, and there is no setting on the iPhone to control SMS. Contact your carrier, since you are able to receive SMS. They may need to check and reset the provisioning on your account.

What does that have to do with you sending text message?
Imessage is different?
Contact them and talk to someone higher up SMS is a carrier feature, not Apple or an issue with your hardware.
That is a separate issue. The ability to choose your phone number has to do with iMessage being activated. It has nothing to do with SMS. If you have iMessage problems, and your number is not listed there, that is a separate issue and has to be addressed separately. SMS is a carrier function, they control it. It is not an iPhone problem.
They told me that they coulden find something wrong and that it must be a hardware problem =/
And about imessage i cant choose to send from my mobilenumber but i can se my phonenumber but i can only choos to send from my email.
Then get them to prove it by going to the store, having them transfer your number/account to another iPhone. If the problem follows your phone number, then it's not your iPhone.
Thanks, i will try that.
Then you need to go to Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it off. Then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. After the phone starts up, go back to Settings>Messages>iMessage and turn it on. Make sure it activates. After it does, then go to Send & Receive and make sure your phone number is checked and grayed out.
This is to address your iMessage problem. It has nothing to do with SMS.
Thanks, i have already tried that on my own phone but it still doesent work but i will trie it on an adder phone.
What do you mean you have tried it but it doesn't work? Does iMessage activate? Are you using a supported carrier for the iPhone? Do you have data turned on? The activation of iMessage requires a hidden SMS be sent to the Apple servers in the UK. If you are not using a supported carrier, or you do not have a texting plan, then it will not activate. If it is not activating, then it could be because of your SMS problem we discussed earlier. It would help if we knew where you were and what carrier you are using.
Im using something called www.Hallon.se and it have always worked befour.
