Q: iMessage does not show phone number. Only e-mail

Nov 25, 2015 1:43 PMby xindlos,Thank you for your reply.
Sign in to iMessage:
- Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
- Tap Use your Apple ID for iMessage. Then sign in with your Apple ID. Use the same Apple ID as your iPhone.
- Select the phone number and email addresses that you want to be reached at.
The step 3. is not there.
I sign my Apple ID, iMessage links with my e-mail - apple ID - but it does not link with my phone number.
There is just one button "you will be reached at and there is my mail". There is no button for phone number.

I sign out iMessage and FaceTime on all my devices - iPad and iPhone.
And after that I did these three steps on my iPhone but still nothing. iMessage and FaceTime are off on iPad
It links with my mail and there is "waiting for activation". -

That is why your phone number is not appearing, as it is not completing the activation. The troubleshooting shows to wait 24 hours for activation. If at that point it does not activate, then contact Apple Support.
