I receive a text message when I email my self? (Gmail)?

I have my number on gmail for security for about a year now and for some reason if I email my self from my iPhone, I don't know whether it's only from my iPhone or on the computer I get a text message of that email?

Yeah well google must've updated your account. Remove your number and put it in back.

  • Why don't I receive alerts or a notification when I receive a text and I already checked my settings? I adjusted my setting and even put the ringer and notifications on and put the volume and ringer on and I receive no alert, no pop up, alert or notification when someone texts me. Why? This is the iPhone X! I went to the cell phone/ carrier store and they didn't help me. They said to go to the apple store or check the settings. I already adjusted the settings. So what do I do now?
  • Why do people with iPhones receive email text messages? I have an iPhone and other people I text with iPhones tell why when I text them they get my email instead of my phone number. Why is that is it possible to not to ever send out my email just my number. When I text them with my iPhone.
  • Why can't I send/receive photos via text message on my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4S, which I bought unlocked and I use Straight Talk. I can't receive or send photos to contacts that don't have iPhones. Can anyone tell me why this is, and help me get it working?
  • What should you do when you receive a spam text message? Just received a text message from someone pretending to be DFS about an order I never ordered. The funny thing is when you go into the information on my iPhone; no phone number shows up. I contacted Three Mobile and they say they can't detect what activity goes on; on my phone. They recommended that I just ignore the sender. I've also blocked the sender; because the iPhone allows you to do that.
