Q: Cannot change the Start Conversation From iMessage setting to phone number

I just upgraded from an iphone 5 to a 6 today. I just started sending messages and everything is beginning from my iTunes account and not my phone number. I go under Setting and then Messages and I cannot change the Start Conversation From setting to my phone number. Is there something I need to change elsewhere to be able to change this?

iPhone 6

Did you unlink your previous iPhone? Do you have the same telephone number as the previous iPhone? Check the following article carefully:
