Q: I have an iPhone 5S and when I text it shows up as an email and not with my phone number?

When I send texts or iMessages, the person receiving the message sees my email and not my phone number. How can I change this?

Hello crjrunr,

I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with iMessage on your iPhone. You may want to double-check that your phone number is selected under the Start New Conversations From section of Settings > Messages, as noted in the following article:

iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

Sincerely,
- Brenden
